Shrimp Fish Stew (Printable Recipe)

A hearty shrimp and fish dish simmered in savory tomato broth with herbs and vegetables.

# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Seafood

01 - 8 ounces skinless cod or sea bass fillets, cut into 1½-inch pieces
02 - 6 ounces raw shrimp (31-40 per pound), peeled, deveined, halved lengthwise

→ Vegetables & Aromatics

03 - ⅓ cup chopped onion
04 - 2 stalks celery, sliced
05 - ½ teaspoon minced garlic

→ Liquid & Base

06 - 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
07 - ¼ cup dry white wine or additional reduced-sodium chicken broth
08 - 1 (14.5 ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes, drained
09 - 1 (8 ounce) can no-salt-added tomato sauce

→ Seasoning & Garnish

10 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
11 - ¼ teaspoon salt
12 - ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
13 - 1 tablespoon snipped fresh parsley

→ Cooking Oil

14 - 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Cut cod or sea bass into uniform 1½-inch pieces. Halve the shrimp lengthwise. Refrigerate until use.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onion, sliced celery, and minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
03 - Stir in chicken broth and wine. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes.
04 - Stir in drained diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Return to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.
05 - Gently stir in cod and shrimp. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until shrimp are opaque and fish flakes easily, about 3 to 5 minutes.
06 - Sprinkle with snipped parsley just before serving.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Use firm white fish like cod, sea bass, mahi-mahi, or halibut to maintain texture during cooking.
02 - Avoid overcooking seafood to prevent toughness and disintegration.
03 - Dry white wine adds depth, but broth can be used as an alcohol-free substitute.
04 - Shrimp turn pink and fish become flaky and opaque when fully cooked.
