This cioppino is a great way to use up leftover seafood. I always have some shrimp and scallops in my freezer and this is a great way to use them up.

I thought this cioppino was just okay. The broth was a little bland and the seafood was overcooked. I wouldn't make this recipe again.

This cioppino was a little too spicy for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. I will try it again with less cayenne pepper next time.
