1) Cut the fish into very thin strips and place in a non acid-reactive bowl.

4)Remove the fish from the marinade, scraping back into the marinade as many of the diced veg as possible. Cover the fish and refridgerate. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan.
5) Add the pureed tomatos and the sherry. Bring to a boil, then simmer briskly for about 5 mins until reduced. Leave to cool then check seasoning adding more pepper if needed.
6) Arrange the lettuce leaves on individual plates with the fish on top. Scatter the sweet potato and bell pepper over the top then add the jumbo shrimp. Spoon over the sauce and garnish with the cilantro.
