Ingredients
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, crushed
6 roma tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and cut into thin strips
1 cup homemade fish stock, purchased seafood stock, or clam juice
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 pound skinned saltwater fish fillets (snapper, sole, halibut, or cod), cut into 2-inch chunks
16 large peeled and deveined raw shrimp
16 sea scallops
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, finely shredded
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Directions
Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to brown it.
Add the tomato strips to the pot and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring gently to incorporate with the oil and garlic.
Pour in the fish stock and white wine, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook uncovered for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Add the fish chunks to the simmering broth, then arrange the shrimp and scallops evenly throughout the pot.
Continue cooking over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, until the fish reaches an internal temperature of 145°F, the shrimp are opaque and firm, and the scallops are just cooked through and opaque.
Remove from heat and gently fold in the shredded basil and chopped parsley, reserving a small handful of herbs for garnish if desired.
Divide the stew evenly among four serving bowls, distributing the seafood and broth equally. Serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
