For a richer flavor, use homemade fish stock. You can also add other types of seafood, such as mussels or calamari. If you don't have access to red snapper, any firm white fish will work well. Cod, halibut, or sea bass are good substitutes. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your desired level of spiciness. Serve with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
