ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped white onion
4 garlic cloves, minced
¼ cup dry white wine or vermouth (optional)
1 bottle (8 ounces) clam juice
1 can (14¼ ounces) “pasta-ready” or Italian seasoned diced tomatoes, undrained, such as Contadina Del Monte brand
1 teaspoon each dried basil and Mexican oregano
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
8 ounces skinless halibut fish fillets, cut into 1-inch chunks
½ pound uncooked peeled and deveined medium shrimp
preparation
Heat a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and onion; cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic; cook 1 minute, stirring once. If desired, add wine or vermouth; cook 30 seconds. Add clam juice, tomatoes, basil, oregano, and, if desired, red pepper flakes; bring to a simmer. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered 8 minutes.
Stir in fish and shrimp. Cook until fish and shrimp are opaque, about 5 minutes. Ladle into shallow bowls.
substitutions: Red snapper or 8 ounces halved sea scallops may replace the fish fillets.
tips: Although the wine or vermouth (we like vermouth) is optional, it does add a dimension of flavor—a little puckery, a little like the sea. Almost all the alcohol disappears with cooking. When time is short, use cans of “pasta-ready” or “recipe-ready” tomatoes that are already peeled, seasoned, and diced. They’re a perfect shortcut.
