Method

For the Grilled Mahi

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. This will be used to marinate the mahi mahi fillets.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Mahi Mahi

    Place the mahi mahi fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each fillet is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    While the fish is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Grill the Mahi Mahi

    Remove the mahi mahi from the marinade and place them on the preheated grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

For the Shrimp Scampi Basilico Sauce

  1. 5

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink, approximately 3-4 minutes.

  2. 6

    Add White Wine

    Pour in the white wine and bring to a gentle simmer. Allow it to reduce slightly for about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 7

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in the chopped basil and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to combine the flavors.

To Serve

  1. 8

    Place a grilled mahi mahi fillet on each plate and generously spoon the shrimp scampi basilico sauce over the top. Serve immediately.
