Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Guajillo Chilies

    Remove the stems and seeds from the Guajillo chilies. Rinse them under cold water. Soak the chilies in hot water for about 15 minutes until they soften.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Dice the onion, carrots, zucchini, bell pepper, and celery into small pieces. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Make the Broth

    In a large pot over medium heat, add a little oil and sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until they are translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Vegetables

    Add the diced carrots, zucchini, bell pepper, and celery to the pot. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes.

  3. 5

    Blend the Chilies

    After soaking, blend the Guajillo chilies with some of the fish stock until smooth. Add this mixture to the pot.

  4. 6

    Simmer the Broth

    Add the remaining fish stock, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.

  5. 7

    Add Seafood

    Add the shrimp and tilapia pieces to the pot. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through.

Serving

  1. 8
