Step 1
Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil into a large pot and set it over medium-high heat for 90 seconds until the oil shimmers and moves quickly when you tilt the pot.
Step 2
Add the 8-ounce fish chunk to the hot oil and cook undisturbed for 2 minutes until the bottom turns opaque and golden, then stir and cook another 1 minute.
Step 3
Add the 8 ounces of shrimp to the pot and stir continuously for 1 minute until the shrimp pieces turn from translucent gray to solid pink.
Step 4
Pour in 1.5 cups of broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, letting it bubble steadily for 5 minutes until the flavors blend.
Step 5
Remove the pot from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, tasting the broth and adding salt or pepper if needed.
Step 6
Divide the seafood and broth evenly between two bowls and top each with 2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro.
