Fish

Method

Cooking the Fish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Rinse the fresh fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Pan-Fry the Fish

    In a large skillet, heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Carefully place the fish fillets in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and keep warm.

Cooking the Jumbo Shrimp Casino

  1. 3

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a separate skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and fry until crispy. Transfer the crispy bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the bacon drippings in the skillet.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  3. 5

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the jumbo shrimp to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Stir in the chopped fresh basil.

  4. 6

    Make the White Wine Butter Sauce

    Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes. Add the butter and stir until melted and combined, creating a rich sauce.

  5. 7

    Combine and Serve

    Crumble the crispy bacon back into the skillet with the shrimp and sauce. Serve the pan-fried fish on a plate and top with the jumbo shrimp casino and sauce.
