Ingredients:

  1. 2 1/2 pints red grouper (skin on, scaled and cut into 2- inch pieces (or substitute redfish, flounder, striped bass, escolar, or any other white-fleshed fish))
  2. 1 lbs of shrimp (cleaned)
  3. 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  4. 1/4 cup olive oil
  5. 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced onions
  6. 2 to 3 fresh cayenne chiles (stemmed, seeded, and roughly chopped)
  7. 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  8. 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  9. One 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes (with juices)
  10. 1/2 cup fish or chicken stock (or canned, low-sodium chicken broth, or water)
  11. 2 teaspoons salt
  12. One 14.5-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk
  13. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

  1. Place the fish in a large nonreactive mixing bowl, add the lime juice, and set aside to marinate while you proceed with the recipe.
  2. Heat a large saute pan over medium- high heat, and add the olive oil.
  3. Once it is hot, add the onions and cayenne peppers and saute, stirring often, until the onions are translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
  5. Add the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, stock, and 1 teaspoon of the salt, and stir well to incorporate.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  7. Season the fish with the remaining teaspoon of salt. Then add the fish (with the lime juice) and the coconut milk.
  8. Stir to combine, and bring the liquid to a boil.
  9. Cover the pan, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook until the flesh of the fish starts to flake, about 10 minutes.
  10. Add the shrimp.
  11. Remove the cover, sprinkle the cilantro over the fish, and serve accompanied by steamed rice.
