Savory Seafood Saute

If you've got a variety of seafood, some broth in the cupboard and some vegetables hanging around, this easy, quick seafood medley is for you.

ON THE CUTTING BOARD:

STEP ONE:

Chop 1/2 large onion and saute over medium heat with a 2 tsp. smoked paprika, 1 tsp. of white pepper and 1/2 tsp. of sea salt or seasoned salt (I used a seasoned salt from Penzey's Spices until onions are softened, about 3-4 minutes.

STEP TWO:

Add sliced mushrooms and cook until lightly browned.

STEP THREE:

Throw in the sliced pepper and cherry tomatoes. Cook for another 4 minutes.

STEP FOUR:

Pour 2 cups of chicken or vegetable stock into the wok. Stir. Add 4 finely chopped garlic cloves.

STEP FIVE:

Cut the salmon into 1 1/2 inch pieces and add to the pan. Simmer for 3 minutes.

STEP SIX:

Add the sea scallops and stir. Allow to simmer for 1 minutes.  If you have any saffron, now's the time to sprinkle in a couple of pinches. Stir.

STEP SEVEN:

Nestle shrimp into the wok and simmer for 1 minutes. 

STEP EIGHT:

Lastly, add the clams and cover. Steam until all the clams open, about 4-5 minutes (discard those that don't).

STEP NINE:

Serve in bowls with a crusty bread for dipping.

ALLA VOSTRA SALUTE!
