Seafood Stew

Seafood Stew

Ingredients:

3 Dozen little neck clams

1 1/2 lbs Scallops

1 1/2 lbs Shrimp 

8 Cloves Garlic – minced

1 Onion – diced

3 Chorizo Links – sliced

1 Cup Water

3 Tomatoes – diced

3 Bay Leaves

1/2 Bottle Dry White Wine – (I prefer Pino Grigio)

1/2 cup Fresh Parsley – roughly chopped

Salt and Pepper to taste

Prep – make sure you dry your scallops well. Leave them out on 1-2 layers of paper towels for 20-25 minutes. Then dry each scallop gently with paper towels. Scallops retain a lot of water and if you do not dry them out, they will not cook properly. 

Directions

In a large heavy pot, sauté salted onion in olive oil for approx. 2 minutes

Add Garlic and sauté till fragrant. 

Add chorizo, tomatoes, wine, bay leaf, 1/4 cup parsley,salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and then lower to a simmer for 8-10 minutes.

Add the clams, mix well and cover for about 5 minutes.

Add shrimp and scallops and cook an additional 2-3minutes, until seafood is completely cooked.

Ladle into bowls and top with a little fresh parsley.
