• 8 small baby potatoes, quartered
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1.5 pounds assorted seafood (e.g., shrimp, scallops, mussels, and chunks of white fish like cod or halibut)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion, garlic, red bell pepper, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, fish stock, and white wine. Mix well.

Add the baby potatoes, bay leaves, paprika, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

Step 5

Cover the pot and let the stew simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 6

Add the assorted seafood to the pot, ensuring it is evenly distributed in the stew. Cover and cook for an additional 5-8 minutes, or until the mussels open and the shrimp and fish are opaque and fully cooked.

Step 7

Discard any mussels that do not open during cooking.

Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper as needed.
