Cioppino

When I make cioppino, I don't usually follow a recipe. So it's different every time, but always good. I sweat some onion, add garlic and crushed red pepper, maybe herbs, chicken broth or clam juice, and diced tomatoes. I simmer that for a while, then add 4 or 5 clams and 4 or 5 mussels. I take them out as they open, and then I put in a few shrimp and scallops, just until they're cooked through.
