                Baked Redfish with Shrimp Pasta

(This recipe is great for any of your favorite fish fillets)
2 Redfish Fillets (Skin Removed)
2 Cups Peeled Uncooked Shrimp
1 Can Diced Tomatoes, Drained (Basil, Garlic, Oregano Brand)
1 Cup Diced Bell Pepper
Whole Wheat Pasta

Prepare Redfish by coating both sides of fillet with Stan's Stuff and refrigerate a few hours before cooking.

Preheat oven 350, lightly coat each side of fillet with extra virgin olive oil.  Spread diced bell pepper, then cover with  canned tomatoes.  Top with uncooked shrimp.  Cover with tin foil  and cook approximately 20 to 30 minutes. Serve over pasta.  This dish is great over rice, too!

For sides, try corn on the cob or potatoes boiled in water seasoned with about 4 Tablespoons of Stan's Stuff.

Stan's Stuff Tip!
Season your chicken, fish, beef and pork before freezing.  They will be ready to cook when thawed.

                             Boiled Peanuts

You can easily double or triple or quadruple the recipe ingredients. The longer the peanuts cook, or sit in the seasoned water, the spicier they will become.   Also the longer the peanuts cook, the softer the shells will become. Some people prefer their peanut shells soft and almost chewy, some prefer a little firm so you can pry open the shells.

Add 1/4 Cup of Stan's Stuff per 1 LB of peanuts. ( equivalent 2 Tablespoons or 2OZ's),add 4 cups of water per LB.   Bring to rolling boil, cover, then simmer until peanuts reach desired firmness.  

Total time.  Appx. 4 to 5 hours for semi-firmness

                                       Pompano

In an effort to prepare and cook freshly caught Pompano I learned there are no set rules or procedures to follow, I talked to a number of people and they all had their own unique methods. This is mine!

I took a freshly caught 3 lb. Pompano (thanks Belinda Bell) or (Gold Nugget) as Neil Taylor called it, scaled and clean it removing the head. Trim tail to fit in large fry pan.

Rubbed it with my favorite seasoning (Stan's Stuff Seafood Seasoning) and stuck a onion wedge in the cavity.

Take a large fry pan and spray with pan spray, add about two Tbs. olive oil, Preheat to med heat, I want the pan hot before placing the fish in.

Place fish in and loosely cover. Cook about five minutes on each side.

Before cooking fish in separate pan cook sliced red potato's,crushed clove garlic and sliced onions in butter or favorite oil. Add a simple salad, your favorite wine, and you got a meal.

 

Thanks to my friends for helping out,
