Smoky Seafood Stew

How to Make Smoky Seafood Stew

This stew is great year-round, but it’s best in late summer when bell peppers are extra plump and abundant at the farmers’ market. When buying fresh clams, make sure they are still alive with their shells tightly closed. This recipe is Katie Cavuto’s rendition of the clambakes and lobster boils she loved as a kid.

Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, bell pepper, salt, and black pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables have softened, 6–8 minutes. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, paprika, and tomato paste. Continue to cook, stirring, for 1–2 minutes.
  2. Pour in the broth and tomatoes with their juices. Bring mixture to a boil, then add the potatoes. Reduce heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  3. When potatoes are tender, increase heat to medium and add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and clams. Cover the pot and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in the shrimp and fish, cover again, and simmer for about 5 more minutes, until the clams open and the fish and shrimp are firm and opaque. Stir in the parsley and oregano, and serve immediately.
