This recipe is so easy, but you’ll feel like you are eating in fine dining! Serve with crusty bread to soak up the spicy tomato broth.

Ingredients

1/2 jar (about 320mL) Prego® Tomato Onion & Garlic Pasta Sauce
1 tbsp 15 mL olive oil
1 small onion, diced (about 1 cup)
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup 250 mL low sodium chicken or vegetable broth
2 tsp 10 mL red pepper flakes (optional)
4 cups 1 L (1 lb/450 g) mixed frozen seafood: shrimp, scallops, mussels or firm white fish (cod, haddock, or halibut)
1/2 cup 125 mL chopped parsley
1/2 lemon, juiced

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds more.
Pour in the Prego sauce, broth and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the mixed seafood to the simmering broth. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes over medium heat, just until the seafood is opaque and cooked through.
Stir in the parsley and lemon juice. Ladle the stew into bowls and season with salt and pepper to taste.

If you can handle the heat, turn up the spice level and increase the amount of chili flakes or serve with some extra hot sauce!
