Tilapia with Shrimp in a pouch



Something oh so easy and good tasting and an old Boy Scout way of cooking on an open fire. However, I used the oven. My neighbors Judy and John came over for dinner the other night and I made talapia. Easy to do....

3 talapia fillets
18 medium shrimp, cooked or uncooked
butter
salt
pepper
paprika
dried parsley

Okay that is it. 3 pieces of foil.... spray each piece of foil with cooking spray. Place
one fillet in the middle of foil, put 2 tabs of butter on top of fish. Add 6 shrimp, salt, pepper, dried parsley and paprika for taste. Take long end of foil and touch together and fold foil over twice. Then fold in each side. Puncture 3 holes on top of foil to stream can release. Place on a cookie sheet and place in a pre-heated 350* oven. Bake for 30 minutes.

Place on plate and carefully undo the folds or cut down the middle but be careful steam will release and it is hot. Enjoy... fish is flaky and tender and not fishy tasting.

You can also add mushrooms, asparagus, small potatoes to the pouch.

I love this way to cook. You can pre-make the pouches ahead of time in the morning and then when you get home take them out for about 15 minuted before you cook them...while oven is preheating.

You can also place these on the BBQ using the heavy duty foil. So easy and non-messy for parties. And, your guests will love the whole pouch idea....

Easy-peasy....and tasty too!!!!
