This vibrant dish brings the lively spirit of New Orleans right to your table, featuring tender grouper and succulent shrimp bathed in a rich garlic herb butter sauce. Perfectly spiced and visually stunning, it’s comfort food that dances with flavor and warmth, perfect for sharing with loved ones.
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the grouper fillets with Cajun seasoning on both sides.
Step 2: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1/2 stick of butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 3: Add shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
Step 4: In the same skillet, add the seasoned grouper fillets and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Then transfer to the oven to bake for 10 minutes.
Step 5: While the fish is baking, melt the remaining butter in the skillet and stir in chopped parsley and the juice of half a lemon.
Step 6: Once the grouper is done, return the shrimp to the skillet, toss to coat in the garlic herb butter, and serve it alongside the fish, garnishing with more parsley and lemon wedges.
