How to Make Mariscada En Salsa Verde Seafood Stew In Green Sauce

  1. Boil 1 pound tomatillos for 3 minutes, then immediately plunge into ice water. Roughly chop in a food processor.
  2. Add 1 medium onion and 3 cloves garlic to the food processor and coarsely puree with the tomatillos.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the puree until onions are tender, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, 1 ½ cups chicken stock, ½ cup dry white wine, and 1 cup packed fresh parsley (or cilantro, or a mix).
  5. Season generously with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and your favorite hot sauce (start with ½ teaspoon and adjust to taste).
  6. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  8. Add 1 pound shrimp and sauté for 1 minute per side, until lightly seared. Set aside.
  9. Add 1 pound scallops to the same skillet and sauté for 2 minutes per side, until seared. Set aside.
  10. Wipe out the skillet. Add ¼ cup water and 1 pound lobster tails. Cover and steam for 3 minutes.
  11. Cut lobster tails lengthwise with kitchen shears and set aside.
  12. Add 1 pound clams to the skillet, cover, and cook, shaking occasionally, until they open. Add 1 pound mussels.
  13. Re-cover and cook, shaking occasionally, until all shells open (discard any that don't open).
  14. Add all seafood (including 1 cup cleaned squid) to the salsa verde. Heat through for 10 minutes, ensuring the seafood is heated but not overcooked.
  15. Serve immediately with optional garnishes such as lime wedges, chopped cilantro/parsley, and crusty bread.
  16. **Alternative Oven Method:** Once the salsa verde is finished simmering, pour it into an oven-safe, covered casserole dish. Add seafood, stir, cover, and bake at 325°F (160°C) until bubbly, about 30 minutes. Serve directly from the casserole.
