      1/4  cup           fresh lime juice

    1                    red bell pepper -- stemmed, seeded,

 Cut the fillets into bite-size pieces. Cut the shrimp in half lengthwise.

 Combine the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, garlic, chile, lime juice, oil, salt

 smooth. Pour over fish and allow to marinate for 1 hour.
 
 Place marinated fish in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the bell
 peppers and fish stock. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for about 10
 minutes or until fish is cooked through. Serve immediately with rice, if
 desired.
