Ingredients

  • ½ lb white fish fillets
  • ½ lb shrimp
  • ½ cup lime juice
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • ½ red onion
  • ¼ cup cilantro
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the 0.5 lb white fish into 1/2-inch cubes and peel, devein, and chop the 0.5 lb shrimp into similar-sized pieces. Place both in a glass bowl.

  2. 2

    Pour the 0.5 cup lime juice and 0.25 cup lemon juice over the seafood, ensuring it's fully submerged. Stir in the 0.5 tsp salt. Cover and refrigerate for 20-25 minutes, until the fish turns opaque and firm.

  3. 3

    While the seafood marinates, dice the 1 red bell pepper and finely chop the 0.5 red onion and 0.25 cup cilantro.

  4. 4

    After marinating, drain most of the citrus juice, leaving about 2 tbsp for flavor. Add the diced bell pepper, onion, and cilantro to the bowl and stir gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Taste and adjust salt if needed. Serve immediately, chilled, with tortilla chips or on tostadas if desired.
