Ingredients
- (for garnish)
- (for serving)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add garlic and bell peppers; cook for another 5 minutes, until peppers are slightly tender.
- Stir in diced tomatoes (undrained), white wine or chicken broth, oregano, thyme, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the mixed seafood to the skillet. Cook for 3-7 minutes, depending on the type of seafood, until shrimp are pink and opaque, scallops are cooked through, and mussels have opened. Discard any unopened mussels.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately over cooked pasta, rice, or with crusty bread.
Notes
- * **Seafood Variety:** Feel free to customize the seafood medley with your favorite types of seafood. Clams, cod, or firm white fish also work well.
* **Spice Level:** Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preferred level of heat.
* **Wine Substitute:** If you prefer not to use wine, chicken broth or vegetable broth can be used as a substitute.
* **Fresh vs. Frozen:** If using frozen seafood, ensure it is fully thawed and patted dry before adding to the skillet to prevent excess water.
* **Serving Suggestions:** This seafood medley is excellent on its own, but it also pairs wonderfully with linguine, orzo, couscous, or a simple side of crusty garlic bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
