Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups fish stock (or seafood broth)
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 8 small baby potatoes, quartered
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1.5 pounds assorted seafood (e.g., shrimp, scallops, mussels, and chunks of white fish like cod or halibut)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, garlic, red bell pepper, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, fish stock, and white wine. Mix well.
Add the baby potatoes, bay leaves, paprika, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Cover the pot and let the stew simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Add the assorted seafood to the pot, ensuring it is evenly distributed in the stew. Cover and cook for an additional 5-8 minutes, or until the mussels open and the shrimp and fish are opaque and fully cooked.
Discard any mussels that do not open during cooking.
Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper as needed.
Ladle the seafood stew into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, zesty finish.
