MNLisaB's Note:

This is my version of Ruby Tuesday's New Orleans Tilapia. Tilapia fillets are baked then topped with alfredo sauce, sauteed red peppers and garlic cooked shrimp. I'm not very good at copycatting recipes, but we had this last night and it was mighty fine.

Made this for Septembers Tag Game ~ Las Gambas ~ Shrimp and what a wonderful dinner. Served it to company and not one bite was left. They went home with the recipe. Definately going into my Favorites of 2011.
