Ingredients

1. 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2. 1 large shallot, thinly sliced
3. 2 large garlic cloves, minced
4. 1/2 cup dry white wine
5. 1 1/2 cups chicken stock or low-sodium broth
6. 1 cup bottled clam juice
7. 1 cup drained, diced tomatoes (from a 15-ounce can)
8. 2 thyme sprigs
9. 1 bay leaf
10. 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, plus more for serving
11. Salt and freshly ground pepper
12. 2 dozen littleneck clams, scrubbed
13. 3/4 pound skinless snapper fillets, cut into 2-inch pieces
14. 1/2 pound shelled and deveined medium shrimp
15. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
16. 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
17. Sourdough toast, for serving

Directions

1. In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil. Add the shallot and garlic and cook over high heat, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and boil until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the stock, clam juice, tomatoes, thyme, bay leaf and hot sauce and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes.
2. Add the clams, cover and cook just until most of them open, about 5 minutes. Add the snapper and shrimp, cover and simmer until they are cooked through and the remaining clams have opened, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the seafood to 4 bowls. Add the butter and parsley and cook over moderate heat for 1 minute, swirling the pan. Spoon the broth over the seafood and serve with sourdough toast.
