Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pasta

    Cook capellini pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Shrimp Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the shrimp and cook until pink, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in diced Roma tomatoes, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the tomatoes soften.

  3. 3

    Prepare Snapper

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the snapper fillets with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Spread the cooked capellini pasta evenly on top of each snapper fillet. Top with jumbo lump crab meat and a sprinkle of fresh basil.

  5. 5

    Bake

    In a greased baking dish, place the snapper fillets and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and flaky.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from oven, top with shrimp sauce, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
