Crockpot Seafood Stew

I’ve always loved seafood, but ever since coming home from our gulf coast beach vacation I can’t stop wishing we could just stop by the market and pick up the fresh catches of the day. But, since we are in Kansas and the ocean is nowhere in sight, I finally settled for the frozen seafood at the grocery store and managed to create a stew that’s totally summer worthy! It may not transport me back to the beach but at least it’s a healthy and delicious way to end a busy summer day at home!

The guys actually surprised me with this one. I was a little nervous that although they usually are great sports and eat everything I make that they would not be super excited about this one. But… they both refilled their bowls!! And my girl who won’t touch any foods that are red? Well, I just scooped out seafood and potatoes and didn’t give her any broth and she literally gobbled it down.

You could use a lot of different seafood options here but I went with extra large shrimp, scallops and some crab legs. You will want around 2 pounds or so total. I was hoping for some Mahi Mahi but couldn’t find any the day I was at the store. Any hearty white fish would work well. It’s  just such an easy and flexible meal I think we may just be having this favorite often this summer!

Instructions

 

• Add all ingredients except seafood to slow cooker

Notes

Optional step: Before adding seafood, heat skillet over medium high heat and melt 2-3 tablespoons butter. Add scallops and shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side to brown.
