Notes
This recipe is for 6 servings.
For lower sodium, use reduced-sodium or homemade chicken stock, no-salt-added tomatoes (or fresh), and a low-sodium brand of sausage. You may also want to leave out the added salt.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To prep this dish in advance, complete the steps up through simmering all the ingredients together, but don’t add the seafood. Instead, remove the broth from heat, allow it to cool, then store it covered in the refrigerator.
When you’re ready to eat, transfer the broth back into a pot on the stove and bring it to a simmer. Add the shrimp and scallops, then proceed with the rest of the recipe as usual.
