Note
If using raw shrimp, peel and devein them before adding in the last 3-5 minutes of cooking until pink and opaque.
For a vegetarian variation, omit the shrimp and clams and add extra vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of water to prevent drying out.
Mozzarella will melt more smoothly, while feta provides a tangy, salty contrast. Choose based on your preference.
