Bright Seafood Stew for Two

Submitted by David Hawkins

"4-2 recipes. Weight loss comes with portion control, no doubt. I have decided to take all my favorite recipes that I find out there and adapt them to two, while adding a few additions that make it my own. In this recipe, adapted from https://food52.com/recipes/14754-dad-s-favorite-seafood-stew I have added a hit of lemon, salt and pepper to brighten up the flavor profile a bit, reduced the olive oil a tiny bit to ensure that it isn't too caloric, and as all of these recipes, will scale for 2. Photos to come."
