Seafood Molcajete Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Seafood

    In a mixing bowl, combine shrimp, scallops, crab meat, and fish fillets. Add minced garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly and let marinate for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onion and bell pepper, cooking until they are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Seafood

    Add the marinated seafood mixture to the skillet with the vegetables. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through and opaque.

  4. 4

    Melt the Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the seafood mixture in the skillet. Cover and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Carefully transfer the seafood and cheese mixture to a preheated molcajete or stone dish. Serve with warm flour tortillas and a side of Mexican salad.
