Finely chop the onions, red peppers, tomatoes, and garlic.
Heat the olive oil in a wide pot and soften the onions and peppers for 7 minutes.
Add the garlic, tomatoes, bay leaves, paprika, salt, and black pepper, then thicken the sauce for 12 minutes.
Add the white grape juice and reduce the sauce for 5 minutes into a glossy, lightly sour base.
Cut the fish fillets into large pieces and place them over the sauce with the shrimp.
Cover the pot and cook the seafood over low heat for 10 minutes.
Prepare the rice pilaf for serving, then serve the cataplana with parsley and rice.
💡 Tip: Do not bury the fish in the sauce; if it steams on top, the pieces come out to the serving plate without breaking.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve cataplana with parsley, lemon, and rice pilaf, plus optional green salad as a seafood main.
