Yeah, I know this doesn't make sense..."Italian Seafood Gumbo". Sure, gumbo is Cajun cooking; rich, sensual, spicy. But if you want the sensual seafood goodness of gumbo, but want something lighter, less spicy...a little less "full on", then try this.
Essentially a veggie/shrimp soup base, with shrimp, crab stick (a shortcut, I know), some pasta of your choice (durum macaroni in this one), plus potatoes and carrots, with rosemary, thyme, shallots, and red onion added when it feels right. Just let it boil and when the potatoes start to break up a bit you can start serving.
A crazy combo, I know, but I've never liked identity politics anyway...
