Cut the yuca, plantain, and sweet potato into large pieces.
Warm the coconut milk and fish stock in a pot.
Add the root vegetables and cook for 24 minutes, until tender.
Add the peppers and fresh thyme, then cook for 6 minutes.
Add the fish pieces and shrimp to the pot.
Simmer gently for 8 minutes, until the seafood is cooked.
Serve hot with lime juice.
💡 Tip: Add the fish near the end; long simmering breaks the pieces apart and clouds the coconut sauce.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot in deep bowls with rice and lime wedges.
