2.
Very simple, minimable ingredients
I use the frozen fish just because I can keep it on hand until needed.
Generously coat the fish with EVOO on both sides. and place on cookie sheet sprayed with Pam spray
Sprinkle with Lemon pepper seasoning.
Sprinkle with Capers (add just a little of the juice from jar)
Put a dab of butter on each piece and bake until fish is flaky. Usually no longer than 20 minutes.
I serve this over a bed of rice pilaf. ( My favorite is Texmati from BiLo) The rice also takes 20 minutes to cook after coming to boil and reducing heat to simmer. Let rice stand 2-3 minutes before serving.
Place rice in middle of plate. Criss cross fish on top of rice. squeeze a generous portion of lemon juice and lime juice over fish/rice. Serve with either Broccoli Florets/ baked brussel sprouts of corn on cob.
All ingredients take less than 30 minutes to cook. Baked Tilapia or Baked Swai-Kara Shaw Carter

8..Bang Bang Shrimp-Stacy Hartless
Sauce:
mayo
sweet chili sauce
chili sauce
cayenne pepper
I start out with a 1/2 cup mayo, then add a big spoonful of the sweet chili sauce and another big spoonful of chili sauce. mix it up taste and add more sweet or plain chili sauce to taste. I cant ever get an exact measurement because different brands require adding different amounts. then add the cayenne to whatever level of heat you like.
Shrimp:
you can bread them with panko style breadcrumbs or plain/seasoned flour then just fry in oil until done. Toss them in the sauce until well coated and add chopped green onions after you pull them out of the sauce.
you can meat them plain, or put in hoagie or tortilla.....

15.Lemon and Herb Salmon - Jarrett Willis
Frozen Salmon Filets1 Lemon per 2 Filets
Fresh Rosemary
Thyme, Oregano, Garlic Powder
EVOO
Butter
Aluminum Foil
Turn on the oven so that it can pre-heat to 375 degrees (F) while you’re prepping your salmon filets. Tear a full-sized square of aluminum foil for each filet, and place the frozen filet skin-side down (if the skin has not been removed) in the middle of the foil squares. Cut the lemon in half, and squeeze 1 half over each piece of fish. Then sprinkle them with the Thyme, Oregano and Garlic powder. Take a fresh stalk of Rosemary (you can just use dried if you don’t care about the fresh herb) and bend/pinch it in several places as to keep it in one piece, but break the “skin” so the flavor will come out more while it’s cooking. Place this on top of the salmon and put a small pad of butter on top and drizzle everything LIGHTLY with EVOO. Wrap the foil loosely around the filet and roll the sides and top to make sure it does not leak. Poke a few small holes in the top and cook them in the oven at 375 for 18-20 minutes. Carefully unwrap them as there will be steam inside the foil bag, and serve them with rice and steamed veggies for a SUPER easy and very delicious, healthy meal.
You can use fresh salmon, too, but I like this for if I forget to buy ingredients at the store, I can always grab a piece of salmon from the freezer and I don’t have to worry about it spoiling in the fridge.

42. Shrimp Creole-Elizabeth Bassham Swift
Sautee half a cup each in butter: green pepper, onion, celery. I also added a little garlic and a diced jalapeno. When soft, add 1-2 tsp chili powder, 1 (14 oz) can tomatoes, 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce, 1 T hot sauce, 1 T worstershire sauce, 2 t sugar, salt and pepper and 3 bay leaves. Let simmer on low an hour, stirring occasionally. I used my immersion blender to blend it a little. TAKE THE BAY LEAVES OUT FIRST! Leave some chunks of veggies, though. They taste so good. I added 2 lbs shrimp last thing until pink. Served mine over cheese grits but rice is more traditional. You can thickened it with a little flour-water mixture or thin it with beef consome. Enjoy!
