Expert Tips

When purchasing a dry white wine for this recipe, select a Sauvignon Blanc, also called Fumé Blanc, a Pinot Gris or Pinot Grigio, or a Chardonnay.
Pass a basket of warm Cheesy Dill Crescents to complement the seafood stew. Separate an 8-oz. can of Pillsbury® Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls into 8 triangles. Mix together 1 tablespoon softened butter, 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese and 1 teaspoon dried dill weed. Brush the mixture over each triangle. Roll up triangles and bake as directed on the can.
