Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grouper

    Season the grouper fillets with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Pan Fry the Grouper

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned grouper fillets and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and keep warm.

  3. 3

    Make the Butter Sauce

    In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice and chopped green onions, cooking for another 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the Crabmeat

    Gently fold the crabmeat into the butter sauce, allowing it to heat through for about 2 minutes. Be careful not to break up the crabmeat too much.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Place the pan-fried grouper on serving plates and top with the sautéed crabmeat and butter sauce.
