Shrimp Cioppino Recipe
If you think shrimp can’t steal the spotlight, this cioppino will prove you wrong. Plump, juicy shrimp swim in a bold, garlicky tomato broth.

This dish demands a crusty loaf to soak up every last drop. It’s rustic, messy, and outrageously delicious. So, grab a bowl, roll up your sleeves, and prepare to devour a seafood masterpiece.
