Making Seafood Date Night Stew

 Instructions:

1. Sauté the Aromatics:

   • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

   • Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté until they soften (about 5 minutes).

   • Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

2. Add Vegetables and Liquids:

   • Add the diced potatoes, corn, and tomatoes to the pot.

   • Pour in the seafood broth and white wine (if using). Stir well and bring to a simmer.

3. Season the Stew:

   • Stir in the Old Bay seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.

4. Cook the Seafood:

   • Once the potatoes are tender (about 10-15 minutes), add the shrimp, fish chunks, and scallops to the pot.

   • Simmer for about 5-7 minutes until the seafood is cooked through and the mussels have opened.

5. Finish with Coconut Milk:

   • Stir in the coconut milk and let it heat through (about 2 minutes).

6. Garnish and Serve:

   • Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

   • Serve the stew hot, garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro.

Serving Suggestions:

• Pair the stew with crusty bread or a light salad.

• A glass of white wine complements the dish beautifully.
