Note

Storage: Allow the stew to cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stove to avoid overcooking the shrimp.

Substitutions: You can substitute the baby clams with mussels or additional shrimp if preferred. For a vegetarian version, omit the seafood and add extra beans or lentils for protein.

Tips: If the stew becomes too thick during simmering, add a splash of water or vegetable broth to reach your desired consistency. Fresh thyme can be used instead of dried, but add it towards the end of the cooking time.
