Ingredients

• 300g fish fillets (any firm white fish), cut into pieces
• 200g shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 medium potatoes, sliced into rounds
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 2 tomatoes, sliced
• 1-2 bell peppers (mixed colors), sliced
• 1 hot green pepper (optional)
• 5 garlic cloves, minced
• ¼ cup olive oil
• ¼ cup water
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander

Spices

• ½ tsp thyme
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp paprika
• ½ tsp turmeric
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• ½ tsp ginger powder
• 1 tsp salt (or to taste)

Instructions

1. Prepare the marinade: Mix minced garlic, parsley, coriander, lemon juice, olive oil, water, and all the spices together in a bowl.
2. Marinate the fish and shrimp separately with part of the marinade. Reserve some marinade for the vegetables. Let it sit for at least 20-30 minutes.
3. In the bottom of a tagine pot or baking dish, layer the sliced onion, tomatoes, potatoes, and bell peppers. Drizzle with the remaining marinade and a little extra olive oil.
4. Arrange the marinated fish and shrimp on top of the vegetables.
5. Cover the tagine and cook on low heat on the stove for 35-45 minutes, or bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 40 minutes, until the fish and shrimp are cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
6. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve hot with bread or rice.

Tips for Success

• Use firm white fish that holds its shape during cooking.
• Do not overcook the shrimp — they cook quickly and become rubbery if left too long.
• For extra flavor, add a pinch of saffron or preserved lemon.
• This tagine tastes even better the next day after the flavors have melded.
• Serve with warm crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
