Scarlet Snapper with a Cajun-infused seafood sauce

 

Ingredients:

4 fillets of Signature Catch® red snapper

½ cup Cajun seasoning

8 oz Signature Catch® Lump crab meat

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons butter

 

For the Sauce:

2 tablespoons butter

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon freshly chopped parsley

¼ cup white wine

1 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning

½ teaspoon lemon zest

1 lemon wedge

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Season both sides of the snapper fillets with salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning.

Carefully place the snapper fillets in the skillet and cook until lightly browned on both sides and flakes easily. Transfer the cooked snapper to a plate.

In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped parsley, and sauté for 1-2 minutes.

Pour in white wine and allow it to reduce for 3-4 minutes.

Add heavy cream and Cajun seasoning to the skillet. Whisk to combine and let it simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens slightly.

Stir in lump crab meat until heated through. Add lemon zest, squeeze in the lemon wedge, and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the sauce.

Return the cooked snapper fillets to the skillet, covering them with the sauce. Ensure the fish is heated through.

Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired. Enjoy the delightful Scarlet Snapper with its flavorful Cajun seafood sauce.
