QUICK SLAP-DASH CIOPPINO

Steps:

• Grate your veggies, and saute over med-high heat until transluscent.
• Add in the rest of the ingredients up to the fish. Bring to a boil, then stir and reduce over medium heat until desired consistency/flavor.
• Add in fish in the order laid out, with the scallops going in the very last- these should cook for only a few minutes (only just cooked through), as any longer will give you rubbery white pellets.
• Season to taste.
