Luxe Cajun Seafood Gumbo with Scallops and Lobster

INGREDIENTS

1/2 pound scallops
1/2 pound lobster meat
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
3 celery stalks, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups seafood stock
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt and black pepper to taste
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 green onions, sliced

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and celery, and sauté until vegetables are tender.

Stir in the garlic and flour to create a roux. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Gradually pour in the seafood stock, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Add the diced tomatoes, paprika, thyme, and cayenne pepper. Season with salt and black pepper.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 20 minutes.

Add the scallops and lobster meat to the pot. Cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until seafood is cooked through.

Stir in the parsley and green onions just before serving.
