Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop to preserve texture.
If freezing, omit the shrimp initially and add them upon reheating. The base sauce freezes beautifully for up to 3 months.
For a brighter flavor, squeeze lime juice over your stew before serving.
