• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Blend the soaked guajillo chilies and diced tomatoes until smooth in a blender or food processor. Add the mixture to the pot with the onions and garlic and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Pour in the fish stock and stir to combine. Add the bay leaves, ground cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and let cook for 15 minutes to develop flavors.

Step 5

Add the shrimp, fish fillets, baby clams, squid rings, and mussels to the pot. Gently stir and cover the pot. Allow the seafood to cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the clams and mussels have opened and the shrimp turns pink and opaque.

Step 6

Discard any clams or mussels that have not opened after cooking.

Step 7

Taste the soup and adjust salt and pepper as needed.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro. Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the soup.
