Ingredients
For the Breaded Fish:
2 white fish fillets (tilapia or cod)
1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
Salt and pepper
Oil for frying (or spray for baking)
For the Shrimp & Veggie Sauté:
1 cup shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup smoked sausage or chorizo, sliced
1 medium zucchini, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Salt and pepper
1-2 tbsp olive oil
For Serving:
Lemon wedges
Instructions
Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper. Set up a breading station with flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs. Coat each fillet in flour, dip in egg, and then coat with breadcrumbs. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry the fish for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Alternatively, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes until crispy.
In another skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté garlic and onion for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add the sliced sausage/chorizo, shrimp, zucchini, and bell pepper, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until the shrimp is pink and the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Plate the crispy fish with the shrimp and veggie sauté, and serve with lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy your meal!
