Steps

  1. ### Baja Seafood Stew: A Delicious and Flavorful Recipe
  2. #### Introduction
  3. Baja-style seafood stew is a delightful fusion of fresh, ocean-fresh ingredients seasoned with vibrant flavors that capture the essence of Mexican coastal cuisine. This recipe combines tender shrimp, succulent clams, and mild white fish in a zesty tomato broth to create a hearty yet light dish perfect for any season.
  4. #### Ingredients
  5. - 1 lb (450g) medium-sized shrimp, peeled and deveined
  6. - 12 large fresh clams, scrubbed clean
  7. - 1 lb (450g) white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia), cut into bite-sized pieces
  8. - 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  9. - 3 cloves garlic, minced
  10. - 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  11. - 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
  12. - 1 can (14.5 oz/408g) diced tomatoes
  13. - 1 cup chicken or fish broth
  14. - Juice of 1 lime
  15. - 2 tbsp olive oil
  16. - Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  17. - 1 tsp smoked paprika
  18. - 1 tsp cumin
  19. - 1 tsp chili powder (optional, for added heat)
  20. - Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  21. #### Steps
  22. **Step 1: Preparing Ingredients**
  23. Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Peel and devein the shrimp, scrub the clams clean under running water to remove any sand or grit, and cut the fish into bite-sized pieces.
  24. **Step 2: Sautéing Vegetables**
  25. In a large pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  26. **Step 3: Adding Tomatoes and Broth**
  27. Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juice) and chicken or fish broth into the pot. Bring to a simmer and let it reduce slightly for about 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.
  28. **Step 4: Incorporating Seafood**
  29. Add the sliced red bell pepper, diced Roma tomatoes, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder (if using), and salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
  30. **Step 5: Cooking Shrimp and Clams**
  31. Once the mixture has simmered for a few minutes, add the fish pieces first. Let them cook until they just turn opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Then add the shrimp and clams. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and the clams have opened.
  32. **Step 6: Final Adjustments**
  33. Squeeze in the juice of one lime to finish off the stew with a bright citrus note. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  34. **Step 7: Serving and Garnishing**
  35. Serve the Baja seafood stew hot, garnished with fresh cilantro for an extra burst of color and freshness. Serve alongside a side salad or crusty bread to soak up all that delicious broth.
  36. #### Tips
  37. - Use fresh ingredients whenever possible to ensure the best flavor.
  38. - Adjust spice levels based on personal preference; chili powder can be omitted if you prefer a milder dish.
  39. - For a richer stew, consider adding a splash of heavy cream at the end before serving.
  40. Enjoy your homemade Baja seafood stew and explore more recipes that celebrate the flavors of the sea!
