Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, set aside and keep warm.

  2. 2

    Cook the Tilapia

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the tilapia fillets with salt, pepper, and paprika. Add the tilapia to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and keep warm.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Seafood

    In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp and scallops to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and are cooked through. Finally, stir in the krab meat and heat for an additional 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, place a bed of rice. Lay the cooked tilapia on top, and generously spoon the garlic seafood mixture over the tilapia. Serve with your choice of vegetable on the side.
