Shred the flesh with a fork. In a bowl, combine the squash with the butter. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
In a large skillet, brown the chorizo, bell pepper and onion in the oil. Add the garlic and spices. Cook for 1 more minute. Season with salt and pepper. Deglaze with the wine. Add the tomatoes and broth and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 3 minutes. Add the mussels and peas. Cook for about 2 minutes. Add the fish and shrimp. Cover and cook, stirring frequently, until the mussels open and the shrimp are cooked through, 3 or 4 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley. Adjust the seasoning.
