Diabetes Recipes: Seafood Stew

This stew can be served with boiled yucca or plantains and a vegetable salad. Top it off with some fresh fruit, and you have a healthy meal. Freeze any leftovers and enjoy it later.
 
Ingredients (Serves 10)
You'll need the following ingredients for this seafood stew:
 
  • 6 cups water
  • 10 ounces white wine
  • 3 celery stalks, chopped
  • 3 medium carrots, chopped
  • 1 pound large shrimp, washed
  • 1 pound crayfish
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 1 medium red pepper, chopped
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
  • 4 medium tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
  • 1 pound sea bass, cut into chunks
  • 1 pound small squid, cleaned and sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste.
     
Procedure
Here's what you need to do:
 
  • In a large, non-aluminum saucepan, stir together the water, white wine, celery, and carrots. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
     
  • Add the shrimp and crayfish, and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Strain the shellfish and vegetables from the broth and set the broth aside. Peel the crayfish and shrimp, and discard the shells.
  • Warm the olive oil in the large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook the onions and peppers until tender (about 6 minutes). Stir in the tomatoes, tomato paste, thyme, and oregano. Add the reserved broth and bring to a simmer.
     
  • Stir in the sea bass and squid, and simmer for 2 minutes. Return the crayfish, shrimp, and vegetables to the broth, and simmer for 1 more minute. Season to taste, ladle into bowls, and serve immediately.
