Ingredients

Method

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.
