Seafood cioppino

1) In a large saucepan set over medium heat, add olive oil and heat. Add the garlic and shallots and saute until the garlic is on the verge of browning, about 2 minutes.

2) Add the scallops to the pan. After the scallops cook for about 1 minute, add the prawns, onions and peppers. When the prawns start to turn pink, add the mussels and clams. Cover the pan with a lid until the shells of the mussels and clams open, about 8 minutes.

3) Once the clams and mussels open, add the crabmeat, red wine and marinara sauce, and bring to a simmer. Add the thyme and oregano, and season with salt and pepper.

Serve the cioppino in bowls with warm fresh sourdough bread on the side.
