    Prepare the Seafood

    In a bowl, combine the shrimp, mussels, squid, and fish fillets. Season lightly with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

    Chop the Vegetables

    Chop the onion, bell pepper, tomato, carrot, and mince the garlic. Set aside.

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté until the onion is translucent.

    After 15 minutes, carefully add the prepared seafood into the pot. Stir gently to combine.
