Cataplana de Marisco

Portuguese flavors, weeknight effort. Shrimp meets clams in a 45-minute dinner worth keeping in rotation. At 625 calories and 67g protein per serving, it fits easily into a high-protein day. No specialty equipment and nothing hard to find at a regular grocery store.

Ingredients

• 1 lb Shrimp
• 1 lb Clams
• 1 lb Mussels
• 1 Onion
• 2 Bell peppers
• 3 Tomatoes
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1 cup White wine
• 1/4 cup Olive oil

Steps

1. Layer sliced onion, peppers, and tomatoes in the cataplana or a heavy lidded pot — vegetables on the bottom, always.
2. Tuck in the garlic and arrange the shellfish over the top; pour in the wine and olive oil.
3. Clamp the lid shut and cook over medium heat 12 minutes; the steam does all the work.
4. Open to a cloud of fragrant steam; discard any shellfish that stayed shut.
5. The vegetables will have collapsed into a sweet, briny broth.
6. Serve straight from the pan with crusty bread for the broth — opening it at the table is theater.
