Notes

This dish is best served fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days in the refrigerator. Reheat gently, adding broth if needed to loosen the sauce.
Fresh ingredients, especially fish and shrimp, significantly enhance the dish's flavor.
Feel free to customize the vegetables based on the season or personal preference. Enjoy it over rice or with crusty bread for a complete meal!
