Equipment
- Large Skillet
- Cutting Board and Knife
- Can Opener
- Measuring Spoons
- Spatula and Tongs
- Cooking Spoon
- Bowls or Plates
- Oven
- Oven Mitts
- Lemon Squeezer optional
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1 pound scallops
- 1 pound white fish fillets (like cod or tilapia) cut into chunks
- 1 can tomatoes diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 1 bell pepper diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion, and bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices) to the skillet. Stir and let it simmer for another 5 minutes to create a flavorful base.
- Layer the seafood into the skillet. Start with the fish chunks, then add the shrimp and scallops on top. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cover the skillet and let the seafood cook for about 6-8 minutes. Check periodically—once the shrimp turns pink and the fish flakes easily with a fork, it's ready.
- Once cooked, sprinkle chopped parsley over the top for freshness.
- Serve the seafood medley straight from the skillet or transfer it to a serving dish. Squeeze some lemon wedges over the seafood before enjoying.
Notes
- Freshness Matters: Choose fresh seafood for optimal flavor; ensure it's odorless and from a reliable source.
- Even Sizes: Cut seafood into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking and prevent overcooking.
- Timely Cooking: Seafood cooks quickly; avoid overcooking to maintain tenderness.
- Taste and Adjust: Regularly taste and adjust seasoning to achieve a well-balanced flavor profile.
