This Spicy Spanish Cod and Shrimp recipe is for all my flavour seekers out there!!

It’s a taste explosion, which I love, and surprisingly simple to make, which I also love. I should tell you that this dish has been a long time coming. Why? Well friends, first I have to say that I’m getting more comfortable with the fact that I can be a little obsessive about things. And by things I mean food. And by a little I mean a lot.

Out for lunch last summer my sister-in-law told me about a dish they had at a restaurant that sounded really good to me… and I’ve been thinking about it ever since. Like, for a year. So I’m obsessive and apparently also slow to act. 

But! I finally came up with my own recipe for Spanish Cod based on her description and it. Is. Good!!

Crispy, meaty fish and shrimp on a bed of saucy, spicy, zippy peppers and onions… if you’re looking for big flavours you’ll find them here.
