seafood mix

🥗Healthier: fresh fish

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Canned tuna is more affordable and still provides protein.

Start by preparing the seafood mix with fish, shrimp, squid, and crabs; use whatever seafood you have on hand.

Clean the shrimp by removing the heads and shells, and also remove the bones from the fish.

In 1.5 liters of water, add celery, parsley, crushed garlic, a bit of pepper, and cumin to create a broth.

Cook the broth for about 10 minutes.

Season the fish with salt and pepper, cutting it into medium-sized pieces.

Prepare a sofrito with white onion, garlic, bell pepper, achiote, cumin, pepper, and a bit of salt; sauté for about 5 minutes without burning it.

Add the seafood broth to the sofrito once it's ready.

Blend green plantains with ground peanuts and add to the soup for thickness; you can leave it smooth or add chunks of plantain for texture.

Divide the seafood into groups; crabs need to be cooked for 10-15 minutes, so add them first and let them boil for 8 minutes.

Clean the mussels and shellfish thoroughly and add them for 3 minutes of cooking.

Add the fish for 3 minutes, checking the salt level.

Finally, add the shrimp and squid, cooking for another 3 minutes.

Chop mint and cilantro to add at the end, checking the salt one last time before serving.

Serve hot with lime and avocado on the side.
