- Be sure to use fresh tilapia fish fillets for the best flavor.
- If you cannot find fire-roasted tomatoes, use regular canned tomatoes and add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a similar flavor.
- Instead of tilapia fish fillets, use cod fillets. The benefit of this substitution is that cod is a firmer fish than tilapia, and will hold together better in the stew.
- Instead of shrimp stock, use vegetable stock. The benefit of this substitution is that it makes the dish vegetarian, and allows for a wider range of dietary restrictions to be accommodated.
