Instructions
Makes 1 serving
In a large sauté pan or wok, heat oil. Pat fish dry and season. Sear fish until golden brown on one side. Season scallop and shrimp, add to pan and sear. Add garlic. Flip fish over and continue to sear. Add clams, mussels, lobster and white wine. Turn down to a simmer and let wine reduce a bit. Add clam juice, tomato sauce, celery, lemon wheels, parsley and chili flakes. Cover and let simmer until clams and mussels are open and stew is steaming hot. Taste and season. Serve immediately.
SoDel Concepts Sommelier Mike Zygmonski suggest these wine pairings:
- White: Ramey Russian River Chardonnay
This full bodied white wine from California will pair perfect with hearty flavors of the stew. With a touch of minerality and great acidity to stand up to the tomato broth. The perfect pairing. - Red: Morgan Double L Vineyard Pinot Noir
If you prefer red over white, this Pinot Noir from the Santa Lucia Highlands is full bodied but won’t overwhelm the delicate flavors of the stew. Earthy, savory, and fruit forward, this wine has it all to stand up to the complex Seafood stew.
