Spanish Fish Stew
Description
This Spanish Fish Stew combines fresh seafood with a medley of vegetables and spices layered from softened onions, garlic, carrots, and celery to infused paprika, cayenne, fennel seeds, and thyme. Potatoes simmer until tender alongside diced tomatoes and a bay leaf, creating a hearty broth.
Cod and shrimp are gently cooked on top until just done, preserving their texture and flavor. The stirring in of fresh lemon juice and zest adds brightness and balances the spice, while parsley adds herbaceous notes.
The resulting stew is warm and flavorful with a mix of tender fish, firm shrimp, and soft potatoes in a tomato-spiced broth. It is well suited for a filling meal, especially served with lemon wedges and crusty bread to soak up the broth.
