– Consider adding crab meat or scallops for an even more decadent stew.
– Worried about prep time? Most seafood departments offer cleaned and prepped shellfish options.
– To save time on a busy weeknight, prep your onion and bell pepper ahead of time and store them in the fridge.
– Want to turn up the volume? A spoonful of pesto stirred in right before serving adds an extra dimension.
