Amanda-Tilapia Fish Tacos & Black Beans & Rice

Ingredients

• Tilapia
• Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
• Salt and pepper
• 2 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped (will not chop...thinking it might get soggy??)
• 2 green onions - will chop for you
• whole wheat tortillas

Directions

Preheat a grill pan or indoor grill to high heat or, prepare outdoor grill. Drizzle tilapia with extra-virgin olive oil to keep fish from sticking to the grill pan or grill. Season fish with salt and pepper, to your taste. Grill fish 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until opaque. Flake fish into large chunks with a fork.

Stir in diced tomatoes and green onion to guacamole sauce.

When fish comes off the grill pan or grill, blister and heat soft taco wraps. To assemble, break up fish and pile some of the meat into soft shells and slather with guacamole sauce. Top with shredded lettuce, fold tacos over and eat!

Preparation

Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Once the water comes to a boil, add a generous handful of salt along with the pasta. Cook the pasta to al dente according to the package directions.

Place a medium-size sauce pan over medium-high heat, add EVOO. Add the garlic and cook until it starts to get lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and basil and bring to a simmer, cook for 8-10 minutes and season with salt and pepper.(Sometimes I also use some garlic salt)

Place the meatballs in the tomato sauce and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until cooked through.

Pour meatballs and sauce over the cooked pasta add grated cheese

Lu-Speedy Shrimp Scampi

( Sam’s did not have the raw shrimp that I usually get so I am sending pre-cooked shrimp. You will just need to thaw this under cold water and reduce cooking time. I have made this dish with these shrimp before and it turned out fine.)

1/2 cup butter

1/4 cup finely chopped green onion

3 garlic cloves, finely chopped

1 teaspoon salt-free Italian-herb seasoning

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (this is optional, I have never put this in mine)

1 tsp lemon zest (I usually do more.)

Juice of 1 lemon (I usually do juice of 2 lemons)

1/4 cup freshly grated Romano or Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or dried parsley
