Pompano (or whatever) En Papillote
Ingredients:
– 4 fillets of any kind of fish, about 6 oz. each
– 1/2 lb. small shrimp, peeled
– 6 to 8 oz. cooked crab meat
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 1/4 c. celery, finely chopped
– 1/4 c. red or green bell pepper, finely chopped
– 1/2 c. seafood or chicken stock
– 1/2 c. white wine
– 3 tbs. butter, divided
– 1 tbs. flour
– 1/2 c. half and half
– 1 tbs. Cajun seasoning
How to:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a deep skillet, at medium-high heat, saute the shrimp, onion, celery and peppers in two tablespoons of butter until the shrimp are pink.
Stir in the Cajun seasoning with the flour.
Add the wine, milk and stock, stirring constantly to remove any flour lumps.
Bring this to boiling, then reduce the heat and simmer for a few minutes to thicken the sauce.
Stir in the crab meat.
Brush four pieces of parchment paper with melted butter. Place one fillet on each piece of paper and top each fillet with 1/4 of the sauce. Fold over the paper and crimp the edges tightly together.
Twist the ends to assure the seal. Place the packets on a cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Serves 4
