Fish Tacos with Shrimp or Scallops (or both!)

Approximately 8 – 10 oz. white fish such as halibut or talapia

FISH:

Pat fish dry.  Spray with I Can’t Believe it’s Not Butter.

Season one side with Baja Seasoning (Recipe below.)  Place seasoned side down on an inside grill or George Forman type grill.

Once fish is on the grill, spray the other side with the spray butter and season with Baja Seasoning.

While the fish is cooking, start the shrimp.

When fish is done, flake it up into a bowl and add cooked shrimp.  (see below)

SHRIMP:

     14 oz. shrimp (this is an approximate amount)

     2 tsp. butter

     ½ T. garlic granules or fresh garlic

     ½ T. Baja Seasoning  (see below)

     1 T.  mild green salsa or green taco seasoning (we use LaVictoria Green Taco Sauce)

     1 T. lime juice

     dash of italian seasoning

Saute on medium low for 7 – 10 minutes.  Remove pan from heat until  fish is done.

This is a semi-dry saute.  Reheat shrimp about a minute before adding to the fish.

Drain any excess liquid if there is any, before adding to the fish.

( This picture shows both shrimp and scallops cooking in separate pans.  My husband can not eat shrimp, but I love it.)
