seasonings. Stir frequently while cooking 15 to 20 minutes. Add
water, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.

Add all seafood except halibut to the sauce. Add more water if

Notes: I think the cooking times after adding the seafood is too
long. But then most cookbooks have you overcooking. Adjust the time.
