Ingredients:
- 1 large onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- A handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup white wine
- 1 pound mussels
- 1 pound shrimp
- 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup half-and-half cream
Instructions:
-
Preparation: Begin by finely chopping the onion and garlic. Roughly chop the fresh parsley.
-
Cook Onion and Garlic: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.
-
Add White Wine: Pour in the white wine, and bring it to a gentle boil.
-
Cook Mussels: Once the wine is simmering, carefully add the mussels to the pot. Cover with a lid and cook until the mussels’ shells open, which should take approximately 5-7 minutes. Once the mussels have opened, remove them from the pot using a slotted spoon, and keep them warm.
-
Prepare Shrimp and Scallops: Now, add the shrimp and scallops to the simmering wine mixture in the pot. Let them cook for about 1 minute until they turn opaque and slightly firm. Remove the shrimp and scallops from the pot, and set them aside.
-
Add Vegetables: To the remaining wine mixture in the pot, add any additional vegetables you desire. Cook them for about 1 minute until they start to soften.
-
Thicken the Broth: In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and half-and-half cream until well combined. Gradually pour this mixture into the pot, stirring constantly. Add the butter to the pot as well. Continue to stir until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
-
Combine Ingredients: Once the broth has thickened, return the cooked mussels, shrimp, and scallops to the pot. Gently reheat the seafood in the creamy broth for 2 to 3 minutes, ensuring they are heated through.
-
Serve: To serve, ladle the Seafood Bouillabaisse into bowls. Garnish each serving with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for an extra burst of flavor.
