  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 1 heaping tablespoon prepared aji amarillo paste

  • 1 cup white wine

  • 1 ½ cups Fish Stock

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring, until slightly crispy. Add garlic and continue cooking until golden brown, about 1 minute. Stir in aji amarillo paste and cook for 1 minute.

  2. Add wine and cook until reduced slightly, about 2 minutes. Add fish stock and 1/2 cup tomatoes; stir to combine. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until thickened, 8 to 10 minutes.

  3. Season halibut and shrimp with salt and pepper. Add halibut to skillet, gently pushing down, but not covering, with sauce. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Uncover and add shrimp. Cover and continue cooking until fish is opaque, and shrimp is cooked through, about 3 minutes more. Add remaining cup of tomatoes and peas; cook until vegetables are heated through. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. Transfer fish to a large serving platter, and spoon sauce over fish. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve immediately.
