Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Seafood

    In a bowl, combine the large shrimp, mussels, and white fish chunks. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Chop the onion, garlic, red bell pepper, celery, and carrot into small pieces. If using fresh tomatoes, dice them as well.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  2. 4

    Add Remaining Vegetables

    Stir in the chopped red bell pepper, celery, and carrot. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 5

    Incorporate the Tomatoes and Stock

    Add the diced tomatoes and vegetable or fish stock to the pot. Stir well to combine.

  4. 6

    Season the Stew

    Add the bay leaves, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  5. 7

    Add the Seafood

    Once the stew is simmering, gently add the seafood mixture. Cover the pot and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the seafood is cooked through and the mussels have opened.

  6. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the bay leaves, and garnish the stew with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
