Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium. Add diced onion and cook, stirring, until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in paprika and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, then pour in tomatoes with juice. Add 1.5 cups water and bring to a simmer.
Step 3
Season with salt and black pepper. Slide the fish chunks into the broth and simmer gently for 5 minutes until nearly cooked through.

Add shrimp and stir gently. Cook for 3 minutes until shrimp turn pink and fish flakes easily with a fork.

Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and serve hot.
