This was a great stew! It was easy to put together in the slower cooker and cooked perfectly after 6-7 hours on high. We kept the ingredients in larger pieces, so if you cut them smaller, cook for 5-6 hours on high. The spices were a nice start but we thought it needed a boost so we added more Worcestershire, some cajun and a little hot sauce. This gave it the delicious, rich flavor it needed. Also, we didn't have any bay leaves so they were left out. I would definitely make this again- it's even better the next day!

Shrimp and Pancetta combo are good, however the Cilinatro sauce is very oily - i would not use a full cup of canola. The chipotle sauce has a very strong and spicy flavor. Would not make again for an entree, better as an app.
