This stew is cooked as fast as it can get. The combination of spices gives it a unique flavor. The seafood in it can be anything from a mix or just squid rings or prawns or mussels. In no time, this dish has become one of my favorites: simple, fast, healthy, delicious. Good enough for any weekday dinner after a long day at work. Bon Appetit!

I love seafood as well. Hoping to get some nice shellfish at the fish market and try this lovely recipe.
looks good! I love seafood stews! 🙂
It looks delicious and I really like seafood with something with a lot of alcoholic content. It tastes a lot better.
