Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Seafood

    Cut the monkfish fillet into bite-sized pieces. If not using pre-cooked lobster, boil and remove the meat from the shell. Ensure the shrimp are peeled and deveined, and the clams are cleaned.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

  2. 3

    Add Seafood

    Add the monkfish, lobster, shrimp, and clams to the pot. Season with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the seafood starts to cook.

  3. 4

    Add Liquids

    Pour in the fish stock and water, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for an additional 10-15 minutes until all seafood is cooked through and clams have opened.

  4. 5

    Serve

    Ladle the Assorda into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
