• When the shrimp are cooked, add Boursin cheese and wine. Let the sauce thicken. Season with salt and pepper and the lemon juice.
• Plate the tilapia, adding minced parsley to the sauce just before serving. Spoon sauce over half of the fish.

BLACKENED TILAPIA WITH WHITE WINE CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat pan on medium high heat until smoking. (Make sure area is well ventilated!!) Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in microwave about 20-25 seconds in microwave safe casserole dish. Dredge tilapia fillets in melted butter and season both sides of fillets with blackened seasoning.
• Melt remaining 3 tablespoons of butter in preheated pan along with 1/8 cup of extra virgin olive oil (to keep butter from burning). Place fish in preheated pan and cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove fish and set aside.
• In same pan, pour in remaining olive oil and saute shallots and garlic over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until shallots become tender. Add in jalapenos and cook 1 more minute. Pour in wine and reduce to half; then add in heavy whipping cream. Simmer about 7 minutes or until sauce becomes thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Add in parmesan cheese and stir. Return fish to pan to warm (about 2 minutes). Serve with Cajun rice.

TILAPIA WITH A CREAMY SHRIMP & CRAB WHITE WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Optional Rice -- If you decide to serve this dish over the rice you should start the rice first as the fish and sauce don't take much time to make. Just follow package directions for whatever type of rice you are using. When the rice is finished cooking, toss in the lemon zest, fresh scallions and season with salt and pepper.
• Sauce -- In a small sauce pan, add the flour and just a little white wine and whisk well to combine the two. Then add the remaining white wine and bring to medium heat. Then add in the salt, pepper and cream and bring to a medium boil, cook just a minute and then reduce to medium low and let it simmer. The cream will naturally thicken as it simmers on low heat. You will add the shrimp and crab later. You want the sauce to simmer at least 5-7 minutes. This is just enough time to cook the fish.
• Fish -- Make sure your fish is NOT icy cold; it doesn't have to be room temperature, but just not right out of the refrigerator. Season each side of the fish well with salt and pepper. In a medium saute pan, I prefer non stick for this, add the butter and oil and bring to medium high heat. Saute the fish on each side until golden brown. Try not to move the fish once you put it in the pan until the first side is golden brown. Cooking time will vary depending on the type of fish and thickness. Tilapia takes just 2-3 minutes on the first side and even quicker on the second side.
• Sauce -- When you start the fish is a good time to add the shrimp and crab to your sauce. Bring the sauce back up to medium heat and add the shrimp. Cook just 1-2 minutes and then stir in the crab. Don't stir too much, you don't want to break up the crab. Add the lemon juice, zest, parsley and dill and then turn off the heat -- the sauce is done.
• Serve -- For each plate, add 3/4-1 cup of the rice, top with one of the fish fillets and top with the sauce. Garnish with a fresh lemon slice. ENJOY!

STEAMED TILAPIA IN WINE SAUCE

• Sprinkle fillets with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place each fillet on 1 side of a piece of heavy-duty foil (about 18x12-in. rectangle). Top with peas, chives and butter. Drizzle with wine; sprinkle with the remaining salt and pepper. Fold foil around fish and peas, sealing tightly., Grill, covered, over medium heat 10-15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape. Spoon juices over fish and peas. If desired, top with additional minced chives. Serve with rice.
