Trivia

• According to recent research, lobsters which are key ingredients in this stew can actually feel pain if they are boiled alive. So, make sure they are not alive when you cook this stew.

De-veining the shrimps before adding them into this stew is always a good choice because the shrimp vein is actually its intestine. It may carry harmful residue from the shrimp’s meal that you would not like to consume.
