Main Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Redfish

    Pat the redfish fillets dry with paper towels. Coat both sides with blackening seasoning.

  2. 2

    Cook the Redfish

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned redfish fillets and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until blackened and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Seafood Cream Sauce

    In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and stir well.

  4. 4

    Add Shrimp and Seasoning

    Stir in the cooked shrimp, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Let the sauce simmer for about 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in chopped parsley.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, create a bed of cooked rice. Place a blackened redfish fillet on top and generously spoon the seafood cream sauce over the fish. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
