Cut the white fish fillets into bite-sized pieces and set them aside in the refrigerator.
In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the minced garlic, diced onion, celery, and carrots. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Transfer the sautéed vegetables to the crock pot. Add the diced red bell pepper, canned diced tomatoes (with juice), fish or vegetable stock, and tomato paste.
Stir in the bay leaf, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook the stew on LOW for 3 hours.
After 3 hours, carefully stir in the pieces of white fish and shrimp. Cover the crock pot again and continue cooking on LOW for 1 additional hour, or until the fish and shrimp are cooked through and tender.
Discard the bay leaf. Taste and adjust seasonings with more salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the fish stew hot over a bowl of cooked white rice. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for garnish.
