Seafood Stew
Looking for a quick and easy way to get that highly recommended weekly dose of oysters? Here is a delicious and simple way to "stew" it. Seafood, especially oysters, offers a source of nutrition that is not easily obtained from other foods. Oysters for instance are a highly regarded fertility food and are by far the most concentrated food form of zinc, and it is always best to get minerals such as zinc from our food. Less than a quarter pound of oysters provides 45-70mg of zinc in its most bioavailable form! This recipe is great not only with oysters, but also scallops, shrimp, or a combination of whichever you choose. Feel free to double the amount of seafood or eliminate any ingredient that is not part of your current dietary regimen. If you are trying to make a baby, add extra oysters;)
