Main Ingredients
  • 4 loins fresh or desalinated cod
  • 200 g peeled shrimp
  • 3 pieces roasted or canned well drained red peppers
  • 1 piece onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 150 ml fish broth or substitute with vegetable broth
  • 50 ml cooking cream optional for a creamier sauce
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • to taste Fresh chopped parsley for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a pan with a little olive oil, sauté the shrimp for 1-2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil and fry the onion and garlic until tender and aromatic.
  3. Add the roasted peppers and fish broth to the pan, cook for 3 minutes, then blend until smooth. For a creamier texture, mix in the cooking cream.
Cooking
  1. In another pan, cook the cod loins for 2-3 minutes on each side until juicy and tender.
  2. To serve, place the cod on a plate, cover with the pepper sauce, and top with the sautéed shrimp.
  3. Finish with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot. Optionally, accompany with white rice or boiled potatoes.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The sauce can be stored for 3-4 days. For freezing, separate the sauce from the fish and shrimp. For extra texture and flavor, roast your own peppers.
