Stew Ingredients
- 1/4 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
- 1/2 pound halibut, diced into 1 inch pieces
- 1/2 pound uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined (can substitute with another type of fish)
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion, diced carrot, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften, stirring occasionally.
- Add garlic and tomato base: Stir in the minced garlic, tomato paste, and diced tomatoes. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the tomato mixture to slightly thicken.
- Simmer potatoes: Add the halved petite potatoes and seafood stock to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer gently for 5 minutes to soften the potatoes.
- Add halibut: Gently add the diced halibut pieces into the stew. Continue to simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the fish to cook and absorb flavors.
- Finish with shrimp and seasonings: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp, chopped parsley, oregano, red pepper flakes, and additional salt. Cook for 3-5 more minutes until the shrimp turns pink and is cooked through. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- This stew can be customized with other types of seafood based on availability or preference.
- Using fresh seafood stock enhances the depth of flavor, but canned stock works fine as well.
- Adjust the quantity of red pepper flakes to control the spiciness level.
- Serve with crusty bread or over rice for a satisfying meal.
