SEAFOOD STEW (CROCK POT)
This is very good, hearty and low cal/low fat! I made this when I wanted to use what I had on hand -- all the seafood and chicken was in the freezer and the cans of tomatoes (which I always have on hand) in the pantry plus some celery and peppers from the fridge - and dinner was on its way! I made a few changes to the original recipe from The Healthy Slow Cooker based on what I had on hand and spiced it up a bit. I used 1 can of tomatoes w/ green chiles (but the original recipe calls for 19 oz of canned tomatoes) and some tomato juice I wanted to use up. The recipe below is how I made the recipe - but this recipe is very adaptable to personal tastes or what is on hand.

SPICY SEAFOOD STEW
The hardest part of this quick and easy recipe is peeling and dicing the potatoes-and you can even do that the night before. Just place the potatoes in water and store them in the refrigerator overnight to speed up assembly the next day. -Bonnie Marlow, Ottoville, Ohio

Steps:
- Place all ingredients except seafood in crock pot. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
- About 30 minutes before serving, add seafood. Turn crock pot on high and stir gently once or twice.
- Serve with sourdough bread.
- Water can be added to thin the stew, but I leave it thick.
- Special notes:
- We doubled the recipe to feed about 6-7 adults + 1 child.
- We used a 5-6 quart Crockpot and it was very full.
- We used 1lb of bagged frozen shrimp, thawed. (Costco)
- 1lb. bagged frozen scallops, thawed. (Costco)
- I can't remember what fish we used, a hearty one that will hold up.
- We bought our mussels at price chopper because Costco only sells them in 4lb bags.
- We omitted the clams
- Cooking note: the seafood cooled down the sauce significantly when added at the end. I remember it took quite a bit longer than 30 minutes to cook the seafood and we even ended up turning it up, so I would allow more time and put it in earlier.

Tips:
- Choose fresh seafood: The fresher the seafood, the better your stew will taste. If you can, buy seafood that was caught or harvested the same day you plan to make your stew.
- Use a variety of seafood: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of seafood in your stew. This will give your dish a more complex and flavorful taste.
- Sauté the seafood before adding it to the stew: This will help to brown the seafood and give it a nice caramelized flavor.
- Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the base of your stew, so it's important to use one that has a lot of flavor. A good option is to use a combination of fish stock and chicken stock.
- Add vegetables to your stew: Vegetables will add flavor, color, and nutrients to your stew. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and corn.
- Season your stew to taste: Once your stew is simmering, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or other spices.
- Serve your stew with a side of bread or rice: This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
Conclusion:
Seafood stew is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can make a seafood stew that is sure to impress your family and friends.
