This recipe got rave reviews from my family. I substituted tilapia for the snapper as it was what I had on hand. I also omitted the mayo at the end...but made the rest of the recipe exactly as written. I'll definitely make this again!!

My family loved this stew. My husband is allergic to shrimp but not other seafoods so I substituted mussels for the shrimp (which are my daughter's favourite seafood) and it turned out terrific. We omitted the mayo and didn't miss it. This being a healthy dish is just icing on the cake.
