Cioppino

This is a little bit of a cheater dish since I used a premade Cioppino Sauce from AJ’s. Although a homemade cioppino base would be pretty easy to make since it’s similar to a marinara sauce. I really love mussels and this is a very simple and fresh dish.


2 lbs fresh mussels
1 lb shrimp
1 lb scallops
1 bottle or about 3 cups Cioppino base sauce

Simmer the Cioppino sauce in a large pot (of course I use my Le Creuset) for about 15 minutes. Then add the shrimp, scallops, and mussels to the pot and put the lid on. Let the seafood steam for about 12 minutes until the mussels have opened. Serve the soup in a bowl with a French baguette on the side.
