Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Sauté onion in 1 tablespoon of the olive oil until tender.

  2. Step 2

    In a large saucepan, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the onions, ham and oregano; cover and cook until the mixture is fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in the stock, ketchup, cream and Tabasco and bring to a boil. Immediately add the shrimp, squid and lobster. Return just to a boil, then simmer 2 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink. Season with salt to taste. Serve immediately with the rice.

Clams in shell - a must

Has anyone tried cooking this in a cataplana (the two-sided, hinged copper Portuguese cooking vessel, kind of a prototype pressure cooker)? Seems like it ought to be possible...

I have a Cataplana and have made things very similar to this in it. Can confirm it 100% would work.

Easy and absolutely delicious. We usually swap the lobster for monk fish, which is less expensive, or scallops if they’re on sale. Otherwise follow the recipe exactly. Been making it for years!
