Sautéed Grouper In Shrimp Cream Sauce
2 servings
Sauce
1 large shallot, finely diced
1 tablespoon butter
3/4 cup white wine
1 tomato, peeled, seeded and diced
Pinch of salt and pepper
1 cup diced shrimp (about 6 large) (peeled and deveined)
1/4 cup heavy (whipping) cream
1/4 teaspoon each of white pepper and salt
5 or 6 leaves of fresh basil, torn into small pieces
Grouper
2 tablespoons each of butter and olive oil for sautéing
1 grouper fillet or other white fish fillets, about 8 oz
Flour
Salt and pepper for seasoning
Directions
In a saucepan, sauté the diced shallot in 1 tablespoon butter until tender. Add the wine, tomato, salt, and pepper.
Bring to a boil and let the broth simmer until reduced to about half. Add the shrimp and cream. Cook for about one minute or until the shrimp are barely done.
Set aside while you prepare the fish.
Put the butter and oil in a skillet large enough to cook the grouper. Season the fish with salt and pepper and lightly dust with flour.
When the butter sizzles, add the fish and cook on each side until cooked through and golden. Pour the shrimp cream sauce over the fish and garnish with basil.
Serve immediately.

Mouthwatering! A perfect light meal for supper – thank you for sharing. I really don’t like broccoli but need to incorporate more of it in my diet, to be honest I never thought about seasoning it. I usually just either boil or steam mine.

Asparagus would also be a nice side. But broccoli can be tasty if sauteed or oven baked. I personally don’t care for boiled or steamed either. Florets cook quickly when sauteing. Thanks for your great comment.

The broccoli was good, the fish was great. Had enough of the sauce to serve with white rice, which was also good. Thanks,
