This special stew is a wonderful way to splurge and enjoy lobster right at home in a romantic setting. Save the shrimp and lobster shells to make the seafood stock.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 small fennel bulb
  • 1 tbsp vegetabIe oil
  • 1/2 small onion, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 pinch pepper
  • 1 cup canned whole tomatoes
  • 1 cup Seafood Stock or sodium-reduced chicken stock
  • 1/4 cup white wine or water
  • 1 tbsp licorice flavoured liqueur, such as Pernod (optional)
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 4 oz jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 lobster tails, shelled and cut into chunks
  • 4 oz monkfish fillets, or sablefish fillets, cubed

Preparation

Reserving fronds and trimming off any coarse layers, thinly slice fennel lengthwise. In saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; fry fennel, onion, garlic, paprika, thyme, salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.

Add tomatoes, breaking up with spoon. Stir in stock, wine, liqueur (if using) and tomato paste; bring to boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer until fennel is almost tender, about 15 minutes. (Make-ahead: Let cool for 30 minutes; refrigerate, uncovered, until cold. Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours. Reheat.)

Add shrimp, lobster and monkfish; cover and simmer until shrimp are pink and monkfish flakes easily when tested, about 8 minutes. Serve garnished with fennel fronds.
