stew and shrimp

hello your most profound stew team is back, now i am sorry that my last post was a while ago but i have been busy but i am happy to see that my co-worker  has been keeping you entertained but i am not so happy to see that he published only one post how unfortunate the new schedule proposes that i do sundays and he posts on wednesdays so here i am lets do the stew for you!

now look right for your new stew
this stew is sadly not one of my favourites as it contains shrimp but numbers don't lie and they prove that a sharp number of people enjoy their seafood. it may just be me but that does not look nice so set it out as you wish

1 lemon, halved

1 medium onion, halved

2 cloves garlic, smashed

coarse salt to taste
