Special spice blends elevate this stew and give a fragrant, enticing aroma that lets the mix of seafood flavors shine. Fluffy couscous absorbs the rich sauce and carries the flavor to every bite.

Prep & Cook Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.  Add onion, bell pepper and salt.  Cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently.  Add garlic and spices; cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly.  Add tomatoes, stock and 2 Tbsp. lemon juice.  Bring to a full simmer; reduce heat to medium and simmer 7 minutes. Stir in lemon zest.   
  2. Add seafood; stir and cover.  Reduce heat to medium-low and cook 5 minutes or until scallops are opaque, shrimp turns pink and mussel shells open (discard any that do not open). Remove from heat; stir in remaining 1 Tbsp. lemon juice and 2 Tbsp parsley. 
  3. Ladle each serving of stew over 1/2 cup couscous; garnish with a lemon wedge and parsley.
