Delicious, easy recipe! I prepared it a little differently; I used fresh haddock. I made the stuffing using Old Bay seasoning and parsley to replace the Italian seasoning. I placed each fillet in the baking dish, spread the stuffing mixture and then topped with another fillet. I sprinkled the leftover crumbs and a bit of paprika and parsley over the top. While the fish was baking, I prepared the sauce, when it was thickened and ready to serve I added the cooked shrimp, stirring a couple of minutes just long enough to heat the shrimp and to avoid overcooking them. I did not add the lemon pepper, parsley or cheese (did not have any), I seasoned with salt and pepper only. All our dinner guests enjoyed the stuffed fish, definitely will make this again!
