Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Garlic Sauce

In a saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden.

2. Add Tequila and Seasonings

Carefully add tequila to the saucepan, followed by lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and let it simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

3. Grill the Tilapia

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the tilapia fillets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

4. Serve

Place grilled tilapia on a plate and drizzle generously with the tequila garlic sauce. Serve with rice and your choice of steamed vegetables or house potatoes.
