I've been drooling at this recipe for the past couple of days as it sat in the queue. I will certainly try this with some alllergy-required substitutions for the shrimp (scallops, most likely).
Barrett, the tomatoes sit in the water for a few minutes. Most cookbooks tell you to boil tomatoes briefly in water to get the skins off, and from this I surmised (correctly) that if you just pour boiling water over them and leave them for a few minutes you'll have the same effect!

Hey, when you pour the water over the tomatoes are the tomatoes in a strainer or do they need to sit in the boiling water?

Sorry if it wasn't clear...

Oh, don't forget the saffron. A deep tomato-y fish soup with saffron will make you very very happy.
And if you don't feel like using hot water to peel your tomatoes, just use this jobby.
