Spicy Caribbean Tilapia

Caribbean Tilapia

(adapted from this Caribbean Shrimp recipe)

—-

Ingredients:

4 boneless fillets of tilapia, cubed (mahi mahi works great as well)

1 fresh pineapple, cut into chunks (or two cans of chunk pineapple for ease)

2 medium red bell peppers, diced

2-3 jalapenos, finely diced (more if you like spicy)

2 Tablespoons minced fresh ginger

1 1/2 Tablespoons seafood seasoning

4 Tablespoons butter, cut into small chunks

3 Tablespoons brown sugar

2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Process:

Line a 13x9 baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Arrange pineapple chunks in pan, followed by an even layer of cubed fish.

In a separate bowl, mix peppers, ginger, seafood seasoning, and 1 Tablespoon lemon juice. Spread mixture over the fish and pineapple.

Top with chunks of butter evenly spaced. Sprinkle with brown sugar and top with remaining lemon juice.

Seal foil over the top of the pan to keep all the delicious flavors inside. Bake at 425 degrees for about 20 minutes, or until fish is flaky and tender.

Serve with white or brown rice (cooked however you wish… but try not to burn it).  :)

This is one of our favorite recipes because it’s simple, flavorful and healthy, with lots of veggies. We changed the recipe from its original form because Brandie hates shrimp, and we increased the veggies because they are so good for you and so tasty.

Enjoy, and have a happy week!
