This was really, really tasty. Not to mention easy to make. I didn't have any white fish and neither did my small town grocery store so I used imitation crab instead and it worked out wonderfully! I served it with a warm sourdough baguette.

Hubby and I both loved this dish. I only had tilapia on had, but it worked well with the shrimp and bay scallops. I have prepared an appetizer recipe that cooked shrimp in salsa and butter and that is always a hit at parties. This was an excellent main dish with those same flavors. I had a Roasted Garlic Baguette on hand to sop up the juices and served this with Recipe #160788 for a complete meal. Awesome. I would make this again for company, or just as a quick meal on a weeknight. Excellent.

This was so good! The Scallops were too expensive for my budget but I did have some fresh Crab meat that I threw in just before serving. My husband's a fisherman and I'm always looking for more ways to fix fish. Thanks for a great recipe.

Delicious! This will easily become a family favorite. Adding the salsa sounds a little odd but it adds great flavor. I recommend sticking to a traditional salsa (vs. chipotle, mango, etc.) to maintain a more Italian flavor. I also added some chopped onions, fresh tomato, and a dash of Italian seasoning. This can be made with any variety of fish as others commented. We used cod, shrimp, lobster, and canned clams. Have fun with it!

I printed this out a while ago but forgot about it - then I came across the recipe by chance last weekend and tried it. As described, it certainly is easy. We used the suggested scallops, shrimp and cod and I thought it might be nice with rice. Made some long grain/brown rice and scooped some into the bowl before adding the soup/stew on top. It was a winner! Simple, fast and tasty. Finished with a green salad. What more you could want?
