Flounder Stuffed With Garlic Shrimp Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.Preheat your oven to 190C and then, combine minced garlic, chopped parsley, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, melted butter, lemon juice, and zest. Mix well to form a stuffing mixture.
• STEP 2.Lay the flounder fillets flat and season with salt and pepper. Place three shrimp on each fillet. Roll up the flounder fillets, securing the shrimp inside, and place them seam-side down in a baking dish.
• STEP 3.Drizzle a little olive oil over the top of the stuffed flounder, then spread the garlic and breadcrumb mixture on top.
• STEP 4.Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through, and the topping is golden and crispy.

Cooking Tips

• To ensure that the shrimp cook evenly with the flounder, try to use shrimp of a similar size.
• Flounder cooks relatively quickly, and overcooking can lead to dry, rubbery fish. Use a fork to gently flake the fish. If it flakes easily and is opaque all the way through, it's ready.

Serving Tips

• Sprinkle some finely chopped fresh parsley or dill over the top just before serving.
• Serve hot, garnished with extra fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
