Cooking Method

Heat the butter and olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, garlic, tomato, and bell peppers. Cook for 4–5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the tomato paste, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute.
Pour in the seafood stock and coconut milk. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the fish chunks and squid. Cook gently for approximately 4–5 minutes.
Add the shrimp and mussels. Continue cooking until the seafood is fully cooked, the shrimp are opaque, and the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that remain closed.
Stir in the lime juice and fresh cilantro. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Serve hot in individual bowls with white rice, patacones, or fresh lime wedges.
