- Four 5-ounce skinless cod fillets, halved crosswise
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 3/4 cup frozen peas
- 1/3 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 pound cockles, rinsed
- 6 ounces shelled and deveined medium shrimp
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil until shimmering.
- Season the fish with salt and pepper and dust all over with 1 tablespoon of the flour.
- Add the fish and garlic to the skillet and cook over moderately high heat until barely golden, about 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of flour over the fish.
- Turn the fish and add the peas, half of the parsley, the wine and the cockles.
- Cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until the cod is almost cooked, about 4 minutes.
