these are concoctions I came up with at home. I also make a very tasty calzone. If anyone is interested in that recipe, let me know. Also let me know if any of this is confusing so I can try explaining it again.
Cajun Catfish with avocado and steamed white rice. So good!
White rice (steamed or boiled) One catfish fillet Tony's Seasoning(or other Cajun seasoning, to taste) Dried Parsley (again, to taste, I usually use about 1 t) One half of an avocado (sliced) Garlic salt (again, to taste) Lemon juice and/or honey (both optional)
Start you rice first Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Rinse off your fillet and place in baking pan. I use a metal pan and I line it with foil for easy clean up. Size and style doesn't really matter. Use whatever you prefer. Just make sure it is deep enough to catch the juice from the fish. Sprinkle cajun seasoning, garlic, salt, and parsley over fillet. You can add lemon juice and/or honey as well, depending on how sweet or sour your feeling. LOL. Bake until fish is cooked through and flaky. Usually about 10 minutes in my oven. Adjust for yours. Serve atop a mountain of white rice and your all set. I like to pour a little of the juice from the baking pan on my rice too. About a minute or so before your fish is done, spread the sliced avocado over it and let it heat up. Yum!
Makes about two servings.
Shrimp with avocado and mango chutney
Shrimp (as mush as you want and your tummy can handle) 1 avocado (one half of an avocado per serving) fresh cilantro, fresh green onion (again, to taste) white rice, steamed or boiled 2 firm, ripe roma or plum tomatoes salt, pepper optional garlic salt to taste warm flour tortillas (optional)
Start your rice first. Dice mango, tomato, onion, and cilantro. Halve avocado and scoop out of peel. Rinse and peel shrimp (you can also use pre-cooked and/or peeled shrimp). Sautee shrimp with garlic to taste. Sautee tomato, onion, mango and cilantro separately from shrimp. Nuke avocado 30-45 seconds or sauté separately until warm.
To serve you can put a scoop of rice on a plate and set the avocado on the rice so that the inside is facing up. Like a green veggie bowl. Fill it with the mango chutney and spread the shrimp around the rice.
Or you can mix up all of your ingredients in a flour tortilla and eat it like a burrito.
Either way it's very tasty.
These are very forgiving recipes so you can tweak them to make them more to your tastes and they will still be good.
