Season the cod with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper on both sides.
  • sea salt
  • freshly cracked black pepper
Pat one pound of raw jumbo shrimp dry in a single layer and season one side with sea salt and black pepper.
After about 10 minutes the onions are translucent; add the chopped garlic and mix continuously for 45 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant.

Lay the cod fillets in the pan in a single layer, evenly spaced, and flip each one to coat.

Simmer 5 to 6 minutes until the shrimp and cod are just cooked through.
