New Orleans Seafood Delight

A delicious seafood dish inspired by the flavors of New Orleans, featuring tilapia fillets, shrimp, and a creamy alfredo sauce, seasoned with creole spices.

Ingredients

2 ½	lbs tilapia fillets
1	cup alfredo sauce
¾	lb cleaned, shelled and deveined shrimp
2	tablespoons creole seasoning
3	tablespoons olive oil
4	tablespoons butter, divided
2	finely minced garlic

Instructions

• 1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. Begin by washing and drying the tilapia fillets. Spread them with olive oil and creole seasoning to your desired taste. Place the seasoned fillets in a well-oiled baking pan and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until just cooked through.
  3. While the fish is baking, gently warm the alfredo sauce in a small saucepan.
  4. In a frying pan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and the cleaned, prepared shrimp. Saute the shrimp for about 5 minutes until cooked through.
  5. Once the fish is ready, remove the pan from the oven. For an added touch, you can place the pan under the broiler for about a minute.
  6. Carefully transfer the cooked fillets to plates. Top each fillet with the cooked shrimp and drizzle with 1/4 cup of warmed alfredo sauce. For an optional finishing touch, sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese and a dusting of creole seasoning.
