What is a hearty Stew of meat or shellfish with spices vegatables and rice?

There are many hearty stews that include meat or shellfish, spices, vegetables, and rice! To narrow it down, I need a little more information.

Tell me:

* What kind of meat or shellfish are you thinking of? (Beef, chicken, lamb, shrimp, mussels, etc.)

* What kind of spices do you like? (Curry, paprika, cumin, ginger, etc.)

* What vegetables are you looking to include? (Carrots, onions, potatoes, peppers, etc.)

* Do you prefer a thick stew or a more soupy consistency?

Once I have a better understanding of your preferences, I can recommend a specific stew recipe!
