Stuffed Snapper With Melissa Topping

  • 1 oz. margarine
  • 2 scallops
  • 1 Snapper filet (8-10 oz.)
  • 2 oz. lump crabmeat
  • 4 oz. seafood stuffing
  • 2 oz. mushrooms, sliced
  • Seasoned flour
  • 2 shrimp (26-30 ct.)
  • 1-2 Tbsp. butter or margarine

Lay the snapper filet on a clean cutting board. With a sharp chef’s knife, make a cut along the length of the fish down the center approximately 1/2 inch deep to where the tail starts. With your knife almost parallel to the cutting board, make a horizontal cut away from the center of the fish on both halves, creating a pocket. Fill the pockets with stuffing, ensuring equal thickness across the pockets into the center.

Heat the sauté pan over medium gas heat. Dredge snapper filet in seasoned flour. Heat vegetable oil or margarine in sauté pan for a few seconds. Place stuffed snapper in hot pan stuffing side down.. Brown on both sides cooking for 6-7 minutes on each side.

Melissa Topping:

When stuffed snapper is two-thirds cooked, heat 1-2 Tbsp. margarine in a separate sauté pan over medium gas heat for a few seconds. Add 2 shrimp and 2 scallops and cook for 2-3 minutes. When shrimp and scallops are half cooked, add 1/3 – 1/2 cup fresh sliced mushrooms to sauté pan and cook until soft. Add a handful of jumbo lump crabmeat, warm and serve over stuffed snapper filet.
