Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Add diced onion and cook until translucent, stirring often, about 3 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in minced garlic, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant — don't let it brown.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in white wine, scraping up any browned bits, then add canned tomatoes with juice and oregano.

  5. Step 5

    Bring to a gentle boil, then slide in fish fillets and shrimp. Simmer uncovered for 6–8 minutes until fish flakes easily and shrimp turn opaque.

  6. Step 6

    Squeeze half a lemon into the pot, season with salt and pepper, then ladle into bowls and serve hot.
