Seafood Stew Ingredients
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 carrot, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 medium tomatoes, diced
- 1 pound petite potatoes, halved
- 2 (15 ounce) cans seafood stock
- ½ pound halibut, diced into 1 inch pieces
- ½ pound uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined (can substitute with another type of fish)
- ¼ cup chopped parsley
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ¾ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Sauté the Vegetables: Heat ¼ cup olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion, diced carrot, and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften and become aromatic.
- Add Garlic and Tomatoes: Stir in the minced garlic, 1 tablespoon tomato paste, and the diced tomatoes. Continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes to develop the stew’s rich base flavors.
- Cook Potatoes in Stock: Add the halved petite potatoes and 2 cans (30 ounces total) of seafood stock to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for 5 minutes to tenderize the potatoes.
- Simmer Halibut: Add the diced halibut pieces to the simmering stew. Allow it to cook for 5 minutes, ensuring the fish begins to firm up but remains tender.
- Add Shrimp and Seasonings: Add the uncooked shrimp, ¼ cup chopped parsley, ½ teaspoon oregano, ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, and ¾ teaspoon salt. Cook for 3-5 more minutes until the shrimp turn pink and are fully cooked through.
- Serve Immediately: Once the shrimp are cooked, remove the stew from heat and serve hot for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- This stew combines halibut and shrimp to create a rich and satisfying seafood meal.
- Petite potatoes add heartiness and absorb the stew’s flavorful broth.
- Adjust red pepper flakes for desired level of spiciness.
- Can substitute shrimp with other firm white fish if preferred.
- Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated.
