Southwest Shrimp Stew
This full of flavor Southwest Shrimp Stew is perfect for a weeknight dinner and is low in calories! A large recipe to ensure you’ll have leftovers! Put to good use some of those fresh tomatoes from the garden. My favorite tomatoes are pear shaped yellow ones. I love shrimp, because of its mild flavor you can add it to almost any savory dish. I also have a couple of taco recipes using shrimp that I adore; Spicy Orange Shrimp Tacos and Shrimp Tacos with Roasted Corn Slaw.
You can also use half of the shrimp and replace the other half with scallops. Add a touch of freshness by using fresh corn with chopped bell pepper in place of the Mexican corn. Make sure to pin this recipe to your Fiesta/Mexican board. Don’t have a Fiesta/Mexican board? I have a board to help you get one started for yourself.
