GRILLED STUFFED RED SNAPPER

Steps:

• Preheat coals in a covered grill to high heat.
• To Make Stuffing: Melt 2 tablespoons butter or margarine in a skillet. Add the bread crumbs. Saute and stir the mixture over medium-high heat till the bread crumbs are browned. Remove the bread crumbs to a mixing bowl.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter or margarine in the skillet and saute the onions, celery and garlic until tender; add to bread crumbs in mixing bowl, then stir in shrimp, crab, parsley, salt and pepper and toss gently.
• Cut foil to form a double-thickness 18x12-inch rectangle. Lay the fish fillets on the double thickness of foil. Mound the stuffing on top of the fillets.
• Curl up the edges of the foil to form a tray. In a covered grill, arrange the preheated coals at either side of the grill. Test for medium heat above the center of the grill. Place the fish in foil in the center of the grill rack. Cover and grill for 20 to 25 minutes or just until the fish flakes easily.

GRILLED RED SNAPPER

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Cut 1 orange into slices; place in the inside cavity of the fish. Place fish on banana leaves; brush generously with barbecue sauce on both sides. Wrap fish in leaves.
• Grill fish 35 to 40 min., turning several times, or until cooked through and fish flakes easily with a fork.
• Meanwhile, section remaining oranges by cutting a 1/2-inch thick slice off the top and bottom ends of oranges. Cut the peel and the pith away from the fruit with a sharp paring knife, using a downward motion that follows the shape of the orange. Cut the orange segments into small cubes; place in a medium bowl. Add any juice from oranges, hearts of palm, onions, cilantro and ham. Serve fruit salsa with fish.

EASY RED SNAPPER WITH SHRIMP STUFFING

Steps:

• This can be done both in the oven or on the grill. My BH and I prefer it on the grill.
• Preheat oven to 350º (if using oven).
• Rub fish inside and out with salt. Set aside.
• Sauté onion and celery in 2 tablespoons butter until soft. Add bacon, bread crumbs, egg, shrimp, salt & pepper; mix well.
• Stuff fish; close with turkey thread, turkey picks, or toothpicks. Place in baking pan and brush with 2 tablespoons melted butter. Bake 40 minutes.
• If using the grill, I still recommend brushing with butter, and grill 20-25 minutes turning about 4 times as not to break the fish up. Remove picks and enjoy!
