• Heat olive oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring, until slightly crispy. Add garlic and continue cooking until golden brown, about 1 minute. Stir in aji amarillo paste and cook for 1 minute.
• Add wine and cook until reduced slightly, about 2 minutes. Add fish stock and 1/2 cup tomatoes; stir to combine. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until thickened, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Season halibut and shrimp with salt and pepper. Add halibut to skillet, gently pushing down, but not covering, with sauce. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Uncover and add shrimp. Cover and continue cooking until fish is opaque, and shrimp is cooked through, about 3 minutes more. Add remaining cup of tomatoes and peas; cook until vegetables are heated through. Season with salt and pepper.

STEAMED FISH (WITHOUT A STEAMER) WITH GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Prepare the fish first. Trim the fish to remove any bones. Put it on a plate that is bigger than the pan you are going to use to cook the beans. Add salt, pepper and the juice of half a lemon. Save the other half of the lemon for serving.
• Trim the ends off the green beans.
• Put the beans in a pan with cold salted water.
• Put the fish plate on top of the pan and the pan lid on top of the plate to cover the fish. The heat of the plate is your improvised steamer.
• Bring the pan to a boil and simmer for about 5 to 8 minutes or until the beans are cooked. This should be enough time to cook the fish as well. If your fish fillets are thick, turn the fish half way through cooking the beans.
• Drain the beans.
• Pour the juices from the fish over the beans and toss through.
• Place the fish on plates and drizzle olive oil over the fish. The best extra-virgin olive oil adds a wonderful flavour to the fish. If you don't like the fruity flavour of olive oil, then skip this step or use milder oil.
• Serve with the beans on the side, lemon wedges and crusty bread to mop up the juices.
