Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium. Add diced onion and cook, stirring, until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Step 4

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

  5. Step 5

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