Description

This vibrant seafood stew brings the bright, comforting flavors of the Mediterranean to your dinner table without the heavy richness. It relies on a simple foundation of garlic, onion, and fresh herbs like thyme or oregano to build deep flavor. The broth, made from canned tomatoes, simmers gently to infuse the white fish and shellfish with aromatic notes. Cod provides a firm, flaky texture, while scallops add sweetness and shrimp offer a briny finish. It is incredibly quick to prepare, making it perfect for busy weeknights when you crave something healthy yet satisfying. Serve with a slice of crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices, or over a small portion of rice for a complete meal.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine the chopped tomatoes with their liquid, minced garlic, chopped onion, thyme (or basil/oregano), bay leaf, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and optional fennel seed in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  3. Add the cubed cod to the saucepan and simmer gently for 2 minutes until the fish begins to turn opaque.
  4. Add the scallops and continue simmering gently for another 2 minutes.
  5. Add the shrimp and simmer for 3-5 minutes, just until the shrimp turns pink and is cooked through.
  6. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
