Simple Seafood Medley Stew

Rainy Halloween days call for a hearty , warm flavorsome stew in this household. Let’s just say mother nature is not smiling down on the ” trick-or-treaters” here.  No baked  treats or candy this year; but our wonderful neighbor has a huge plastic pumpkin filled with all the delightful sweet treats we crave. For now, we’re being good and spending Halloween with a huge bowl of stew and a marathon of scary movies.

Here, is a simple stew that should please most if not All!!!

Notes

I enjoy left overs but when it comes to seafood, I’d rather not run the risk. If you made extra and want to save some for left overs please store at an appropriate temperature and for no more than 2 days. Food poisoning is real and very  unpleasant, be safe.
