Spicy Seafood (Fisherman) Stew

How to Prepare Fisherman Stew 

 This is a simple recipe with huge flavors. I love that it’s not only visually appealing but it’s fresh and healthy. If you have access to fresh seafood, this is a soup recipe to try. Use a combination of whatever you have access to, from crab to lobsters to large prawns, the options are endless. Make it your own; the only rule is that you make it fresh.

If you are trying to adopt a healthy lifestyle or lose weight, it’ honestly not just about eating salads and smoothies. This is one of the points I tried to make in my weighloss mealplan book ; Lose It Nigerian . A variety of meals work excellently for weight loss, they just have to be wholesome and high satiety. Soups are highly recommended due to the high satiety level and most often low caloric point. To take this further and make it a complete meal, add in root vegetables like carrots and healthy carbohydrate like boiled brown rice or chucks of sweet potatoes. Now doesn’t that just sound delicious?

Mind you, you don’t have to be team #fitfam to enjoy this soup, it perfectly fits with the team #Delishfam lifestyle as well.
