Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs grouper fillet

1 lbs large shrimp (heads off)

3-4 cloves of garlic

1 tbsp butter

1 tbsp olive oil

8 cherry tomatoes

3/4 cup frozen green peas

salt, black pepper, 1/2 tbsp cayenne pepper, onion powder

1 lemon (juice)

fresh parsley

1/2 tsp capers

Optional - grated Parmesan for cheese junkies.

Directions

Peel shrimp and remove veins. Cut fish fillet into 1 to 1-1/2 inch cubes

Heat oil and butter together in a large skillet

Mince garlic and saute lightly, until fragrant, don't brown

Dump all seafood into the oil and turn to coat

Sprinkle some salt and fresh ground black pepper over the seafood and saute on medium-high until shrimp is pink and fish turns solid color.

Lower heat.

Squeeze lemon juice into the skillet, add tomatoes cut in halves, sprinkle cayenne and onion powder, add capers. Heat through, cover and saute on medium-low for about 10 minutes.

Add green peas, heat through and saute another 5-7 minutes. Add parsley.

Remove the lid, turn the heat off, sprinkle Parmesan, if you can't live without it.

Serve immediately, enjoy with fresh or toasted sourdough bread or by itself.

What I liked about it was that it wasn't as strong as most creole-inspired dishes, and wasn't swimming in tomato sauce like Cioppino. Yet, it was zesty from garlic and lemon, and very juicy because it was sauteed, not fried.

I'll post a photo next time I cook it. It was so good, we didn't even think of making a photo.
