Stir the mixture well until the bouillon dissolves completely, infusing the broth with rich flavor.

After the hour has passed, introduce the shrimp, white fish, and freshly chopped cilantro to the pot.
Step 8
Cook for an additional five minutes, or until the shrimp turn a lovely opaque pink and the fish flakes effortlessly with a fork.
