Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Tilapia

In a small bowl, mix cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over the tilapia fillets.

2

Cook the Tilapia

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned tilapia fillets and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are cooked through and have a nice blackened crust. Remove from skillet and set aside.

3

Sauté the Shrimp

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the shrimp and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from skillet and set aside.

4

Prepare the Alfredo Sauce

In the same skillet, add the Alfredo sauce, bell peppers, and zucchini. Stir well and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

5

Combine and Serve

Place the blackened tilapia on plates, top with the sautéed shrimp, and spoon the zesty Alfredo sauce with vegetables over the top. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
