Shrimp and Talapia recipes

BUMP this...

Im allergic to shellfish so I can't help with the shrimp (but a quick google will turn up tons of ideas.)

My favorite way to eat tilapia is to bake it then add some mango salsa and diced avocado. So yummy! (I do the same thing to chicken breast.)

The mango salsa is AWESOME on tilapia with the avacado! I love it that way.

We eat a lot of fish. I make a mexican seasoning that's basically a mixture of cumin, red pepper, chili powder, and a little oregano. I use a little olive oil (just a thin brush across the bottom of the dish), lay the fish on, coat with the seasoning, squeeze a little lime juice, and then broil it for 5 min or less, just until flaky. Then I found this recipe for an avacado sauce on a runners website:

1 small avocado
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup nonfat sour cream or nonfat yogurt
4 tsps lime juice
3 Tbs. chopped scallions
1/4 tsp. cumin
hot pepper sauce or ground red pepper
salt

Put all that in a blender or food processor, adding more water if it's too thick. It should be a little "saucy," like a salad dressing. When the fish is done, use about a tablespoon of the sauce over the fish. It's pretty yummy!

For shrimp I use this marinade and also broil them:

Juice of a large lemon or lime
big clove of garlic, crushed or pressed
2 tsps olive oil
favorite herb (thyme, basil, dill, ... whatever you like)

I peel and clean the shrimp and just shake them in the marinade and let them sit a couple of minutes (not too long). Then I lay them in the dish and broil them just until done. These are good over rice or with quinoa.

Sides: steamed spinach w/a little sea salt
steamed broccoli or cauliflower
quinoa (with or without veggies cooked in)
brown rice cooked in chicken stock/broth
broiled or grilled zucchini (cut long ways)
steamed or grilled asparagus
boiled new potatoes with a little butter and fresh parsley

I'm also a fan of just boiling shrimp and eating that way, yummmm

Definitely bumping this

I saute shrimp in some olive oil and then drain and dump in a can of rotel. Depending on how hot you like it, you can use mild, original or hot (hot is REALLY hot). Heat through and make sure the shrimp is cooked. Then sprinkle with some feta cheese and serve over brown rice. Delicious!

One I found and tried (thanks for the idea!)...with my own twist.

Shrimp
Honey
Lime
Bit of salt
Bit of pepper
(1tbsp) Butter

Stir ingredients (except butter and shrimp) in a tupperware bowl together until mixed thoroughly. Toss in shrimp, seal bowl, and shake until the shrimp are thoroughly coated. Let sit 30 minutes or so...retossing whenever you feel like. Heat a frying pan on medium heat with the butter, then...when the butter's thoroughly melted and just starting to sizzle, drop in shrimp with part of the marinade (you don't want it all...but it'll make a sticky/syrupy coating for the shrimp so some is necessary). Cook about ten minutes stirring consistently. At ten minutes the syrup should have thickened nicely and might be browing a bit on the shrimp...which is perfect.

One thing...as always with seafood, make sure it's cooked!! Shrimp should be pink all the way through.

By the way...it was so good, I've considered preparing talapia the same way lol.
