12 ounces extra large, frozen shrimp, cooked, tails removed
2 anchovies, packed in olive oil, rinsed and minced
1 medium fennel bulb, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive or grape seed oil
5 cups water with 4 teaspoons chicken flavored better bouillon stirred in
2 cans italian diced tomatoes and juice with garlic, oregano and basil
1 can, 15 ounces, artichoke bottoms, one-inch dice
juice of a half lemon
1 teaspoon dried leaf basil
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Chop the artichoke bottoms and set aside.
  • 2. Chop the fennel bulb, onion and mince the garlic.
  • 3. Place the shrimp in a bowl of water to thaw. You will add the shrimp in the last step, just to heat it through. It is already cooked. This will keep it from getting tough.
  • 4. Thaw the scallops according to package directions.
  • 5. Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped onion and cook until tender and brown, stirring frequently.
  • 6. Add the chopped fennel bulb and cook about five minutes more.
  • 7. Add the minced anchovies to the chicken broth and stir. They are soft; you can easily mash them with a fork. The addition of anchovies , which is the secret ingredient, adds great fish flavor to the stew, and no you won't taste anchovies!
  • 8. Then add the broth and anchovy mixture to the pot. Add tomatoes, lemon juice, basil and cayenne. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover the pot and simmer 15 minutes.
  • 9. Add pasta to the pot and cook 10 minutes, stirring once.
  • 10. Add the scallops and chopped artichoke bottoms.
  • 11. Simmer over low heat 10 minutes more, then add the shrimp just to warm through and serve immediately with some crusty bread. Enjoy!
