Authentic Louisiana Shrimp Stew: A Family Favorite with Gulf Shrimp Benefits

My three-year-old son, Banks, is a picky eater who loves sugary treats, but shrimp gives us hope! He enjoys fried shrimp, boiled shrimp (peeled for him), shrimp gumbo, and especially shrimp stew. On this chilly night, shrimp stew is on the menu.
From Big Easy Foods in Lake Charles, I've learned Gulf shrimp boast a robust flavor and impressive nutrition: high in protein, omega-3s, selenium, and vitamin B12.
Find Big Easy Foods' Louisiana shrimp in the freezer section at local Walmart or grocery stores. In Southwest Louisiana, cast net along the Creole Nature Trail All-American Road for fresh catch!
