I made this stew in my slow cooker and it turned out great. I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner was ready when I got home from work.

I'm not a big fan of shrimp, but I really enjoyed this stew. The bell peppers and spices really helped to balance out the flavor of the shrimp.

I wasn't sure how the cumin and oregano would taste together, but I was pleasantly surprised. They really complemented each other well.

The stew was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a bit too much cumin. Next time I'll use a bit less.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I also added some chopped zucchini and carrots to the stew to make it a bit more hearty.

This stew was a hit! The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the bell peppers were still slightly crunchy. The cumin and oregano added a nice depth of flavor.
