Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup white wine
2 cups seafood stock or fish broth
1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
1 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
1/2 tsp dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
1 lb mussels, cleaned and debearded

6 large prawns (optional, for garnish)
1/2 lb clams or crab (optional)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Crusty bread for serving
Directions
Sauté aromatics: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for another minute.
Build the broth: Pour in white wine and let it reduce for 2–3 minutes. Stir in seafood stock, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
Add seafood: Add the mussels, clams, and fish chunks to the pot. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Add shrimp and prawns, cooking until all the seafood is fully cooked (mussels and clams should open). Discard any that remain closed.
Garnish and serve: Ladle the stew into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with crusty bread for dipping!
