ingredients
- 1814.36 g red snapper, cleaned and boned
- 59.14 ml chopped celery
- 29.58 ml chopped onions
- 59.16 ml butter, separate in half
- 3 slice cooked bacon, crumbled
- 236.59 ml plain breadcrumbs
- 236.59 ml cooked baby shrimp
- 1 egg
- salt and pepper
directions
- This can be done both in the oven or on the grill. My BH and I prefer it on the grill.
- Preheat oven to 350º (if using oven).
- Rub fish inside and out with salt. Set aside.
- Sauté onion and celery in 2 tablespoons butter until soft. Add bacon, bread crumbs, egg, shrimp, salt & pepper; mix well.
- Stuff fish; close with turkey thread, turkey picks, or toothpicks. Place in baking pan and brush with 2 tablespoons melted butter. Bake 40 minutes.
- If using the grill, I still recommend brushing with butter, and grill 20-25 minutes turning about 4 times as not to break the fish up. Remove picks and enjoy!

My Mom didn't like more than one cook (herself) in the kitchen at any given time, so I taught myself to cook after I lived on my own. I never liked the same old stuff so I had started to experiment with recipes. I found loads of recipes to play with throughout the years, even before the internet (grin). 15 years ago I met a man who loves to cook as much as me. We have been having loads of fun with the recipes that we find. We only post what we find a delight to make and eat.
