Add 2 cups water to the liquid in the pot, bring to a boil, and then add the scallops. Cover the pot and steam for 3 minutes. Remove the scallops with a slotted spoon. Extract the lobster meat, reserving the shells. Peel and devein the shrimp, reserving the shells. Chop the meats into bite-sized portions; cover and set aside. Return the seafood shells to the pot of broth. Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Strain the broth and return to the pan. Bring the broth to a simmer over low heat. Add the cream, milk, thyme, parsley and sweet basil and simmer until the mixture thickens slightly, 5 minutes. Add the lobster, shrimp, mussels, and scallops and simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in the spinach and carrots and simmer another 2 minutes just to wilt the spinach. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the lemon juice. Serve hot. |
