Featured Fish Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Season the fish fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Cook the Fish

    In a large skillet, melt 1/2 cup of butter over medium heat. Add the seasoned fish fillets and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through and flaky. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Lemon Butter Sauce

    In the same skillet, reduce heat to low and add the remaining 1/2 cup of butter, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Stir until the butter is melted and garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Cajun Shrimp

    In another skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and sprinkle with Cajun seasoning. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the shrimp is pink and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the fish fillets, drizzle with lemon butter sauce, and top with the crispy Cajun shrimp. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
