Marseille-Style Shrimp Stew

Tomato season is one of my favorite food seasons. Its anticipation is so long and its harvest seems to go by so quickly. A stew in the height of Summer can feel off, but this shrimp stew from the city of Marseille, France is perfect.  It’s a recipe that brings together the vegetable of the Summer with the water where Marsille sits.
