Ingredients
- 1 lb Monkfish
- 1/2 lb Shrimp
- 1 lb Potatoes
- 2 Tomato
- 3 cups Fish stock
- 1/4 cup Almonds
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1/4 cup Olive oil
Steps
- Slice the potatoes into thick rounds and lay them in a wide cazuela with the fish stock; simmer 15 minutes until nearly tender.
- Make the picada: pound the toasted almonds, garlic, and a pinch of salt into a rough paste with a mortar and pestle.
- Sear the monkfish chunks in olive oil until just golden and set aside; the shrimp go in for 1 minute per side.
- Soften the chopped tomato and paprika in the same pan into a sofrito, then stir it into the potatoes with the picada.
- Nestle the fish and shrimp into the stew and simmer 8 minutes until everything is cooked through.
- Rest 10 minutes before serving — suquet, like all stews, improves with a short sit.
