Bouillabaisse Recipe #190012
A French seafood stew made of fish, shellfish, onions, tomatoes, white wine, olive oil, garlic, saffron and herbs.
You can leave the shrimp and lobster in the shell for more flavor to be added to the stew. If you do make recipe #147961 do add the shells from the lobster and crab. I do favor the Alternative method in that recipe. This can be made the day before. All the fish is optional and interchangeable.
