• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 whole red bell pepper, diced
• 3 whole ripe tomatoes, finely diced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.25 teaspoons saffron threads
• 0.5 cups dry white wine
• 3 cups fish stock
• 2 whole small potatoes, peeled and chopped
• 1 pound fresh mussels, cleaned
• 0.5 pounds raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 4 pieces lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or shallow pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the diced red bell pepper and cook for another 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the chopped tomatoes, paprika, and saffron to the skillet, and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and form a sauce.

Step 5

Pour the white wine into the skillet, stirring to deglaze the pan. Allow the wine to reduce slightly, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the fish stock, and season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Bring to a gentle boil.

Step 7

Add the chopped potatoes to the skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cover. Let the potatoes simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender.

Step 8

Add the mussels to the skillet, cover again, and cook for 5 minutes, or until the mussels open. Discard any that do not open.

Step 9

Add the shrimp to the skillet, cover, and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are fully cooked.

Step 10

Sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley, and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 11

Serve the Alcudia hot, garnished with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish.
