Notes

For substitutions, you can replace mussels with clams or scallops. To make it vegetarian, use mushrooms and vegetable broth instead of seafood and fish stock. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat gently to preserve the texture of the seafood. Use fresh seafood for the best flavor and texture. Pat dry the shrimp and calamari before adding to the pot. Drizzle lemon juice over the stew just before serving to enhance flavor. Avoid freezing the stew as the seafood may lose its tenderness.
