Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Seafood

    In a large bowl, combine the fresh fish fillets, scallops, shrimp, and crab meat. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let marinate for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the sliced onions, mushrooms, and banana peppers until soft, about 5-7 minutes. Add diced tomatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Grill the Seafood

    Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated seafood for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked through.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Molcajete

    In a heated molcajete or sizzling stone dish, layer the sautéed vegetables first, then place the grilled seafood on top. Pour the ranchero sauce over the seafood and sprinkle with melted cheese.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Place the molcajete on a wooden board or heatproof surface. Serve immediately with a side of white rice, guacamole salad, sour cream, and warm tortillas.
