Creamy Seafood Stew

Creamy, quick, and full of seafood is what this Creamy Seafood Stew is all about….

I was invited again this year to the potluck!  And I accepted!  So there is a BHM virtual potluck starting now. And there are so many great contributors bringing a covered dish to this thing too! 

This year I wanted to bring seafood again, and with the rainy cold day I just encountered, I thought I would bring a soup type dish – with seafood.

Creamy Seafood Stew

The stew recipe I am sharing today has leeks, blackening seasoning, celery, shrimp, red snapper, coconut milk, and a few other ingredients. 

Well, the coconut milk gives this stew life forever!! 

And I added a splash of dry white wine and clam juice as well to balance out the coconut flavor.

Inspired by a Train Station in Europe

This Christmas holiday that just passed, I was blessed to take a family trip to Europe.  It was a great experience to see other cultures and traditions.  The food was great, the historical sites were breathtaking, and the rest was well deserved and needed! 

So while there I had my first exposure to a train station (isn’t that something).  In fact, this huge train station was like a mall of some sort.  It had shops, and tons of great restaurants.  In addition, I had some of the best cappuccinos in that train station. (And some of the best wine too – HA!).  While at the train station we had a few meals there.  We actually went to the train station a few times just to sit down and have a meal… That’s just how big the train station was!

While there one day for dinner, my husband decided to get this fish stew.  And it was incredible! 

It was a tomato based soup with shrimp, fish, and some vegetables.  And it was a simple soup, but it tasted oh so good.  So I decided to make a fish stew at home but ended up adding some changes to the first batch I made…  And I was hooked!

What Can You Serve This Creamy Seafood Stew With?

You can serve this stew alone with a warm loaf of crusty French bread or over rice.  But if you do not like red snapper, add another fish.  Most importantly, ensure that it is a firm fish that will keep its shape and form. 

Also, if you just can’t do fish, just add shrimp… And vice versa.. 

Let me know in the comments how you like this one..  XOXO

Recipe Notes

• You can make prep for this meal easier if you purchased shrimp that have already been shelled and cleaned.
• If you use store bought blackening creole seasoning, please take caution in reference to the salt content in your selected seasoning.  In fact, there are some low sodium store bought seasonings available. 
• Also, if you decide to add more blackening seasoning, it may take away from the coconut flavor. 
• You can serve this stew with a warm loaf of crusty French bread or over rice.
