Ingredients

  • 4 potatoes
  • 1 celery stalk
  • 2 carrot
  • 1 onion
  • 2 shallots
  • parsley
  • 10 prawns
  • 4 scallops
  • dry white wine
  • 1.5 l. water
  • 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
  • a knob of butter

Instructions

  • Peel the carrot, onion and shallot and slice them finely.
  • Remove the heads from the prawns and sauté them in a pan with the oil, carrot, celery, onion and shallot.
  • Drizzle with the wine, let it evaporate and add the water.
  • Cook for 45 minutes with lid over a low heat.
  • Cook the potatoes with the peel in water until they are tender.
  • Drain and cut into cubes.
  • Shell the prawn tails.
  • Clean the scallops, wash them and cut them with the tails of the prawns. Melt the butter in a pan and fry the scallops and prawns. Salt and pepper.
  • Strain the fish broth and shake it with the potatoes. I advise you not to use all the broth immediately but to regulate yourself so as not to have too much liquid soup.
  • Boil the soup for about 10 minutes, add salt and pepper.
  • Pour it into cups and garnish with scampi, scallops and parsley.
  • Serve immediately.
