Harry's Island Bouillabaisse Recipe

This vibrant and flavorful bouillabaisse recipe, perfected by my brother Harry, is a seafood lover's dream! Using about 4 lbs of your favorite seafood (feel free to get creative!), this hearty stew is bursting with fresh, bright flavors. Leftovers freeze beautifully – if you have any! Serve with crusty bread for sopping up the delicious broth and a refreshing side salad. Pro-tip: Use raw shrimp or prawns for optimal tenderness; cooked shrimp will become tough.
