Preheat the oven to 180°C (medium)
In a large refrigerator, season the tainha with salt and reserve
Prepare the filling: in a small bowl, season the shrimp with lemon juice and salt and reserve
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine olive oil, onion, tomato, parsley or cilantro, and bell pepper
Cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until the tomato is soft (about 5 minutes)
Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until it becomes opaque (3 minutes)
Add the water and let it simmer
Add the breadcrumbs and egg and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is homogeneous (4 minutes)
Stuff the tainha and leave it open without closing
Tie the fish's ends with twine and place it on two cut potatoes to prevent it from opening too much after being stuffed
Moisture the filling with butter and wine
Put it in the preheated oven until, when you pierce the fish with a fork, it comes apart easily (about 45 minutes)
Garnish the dish with Chinese green scallions and serve
