How to Make Scampi Stuffed Tilapia With Pico De Gallo Rsc

  1. Tear off four 12x18 inch sheets of heavy-duty Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup chopped red onion, 1 cup chopped tomatoes, 1/4 cup chopped jalapeño peppers (seeds removed for less heat), 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Refrigerate for at least one hour.
  3. In another medium bowl, combine 1 cup cooked shrimp (chopped), 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, and 1 1/4 cups bread crumbs.
  4. Gently toss to evenly moisten.
  5. In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup bread crumbs and 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
  6. Rinse and pat dry four tilapia fillets (about 6 ounces each).
  7. Scoop the scampi filling and fill the center of each tilapia fillet, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
  8. Top each filled fillet with another tilapia fillet, pressing gently to seal the edges.
  9. Coat both sides of the stuffed tilapia with the bread crumb mixture.
  10. Place one tablespoon of butter on each of four sheets of foil. Place one stuffed tilapia packet in the center of each sheet.
  11. Add two more tablespoons of butter on top of each tilapia.
  12. Bring up foil sides, double fold the top and ends to seal tightly, leaving room for steam circulation.
  13. Place foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the tilapia is cooked through.
  14. Transfer to serving plates. Tear open the foil packets carefully.
  15. Serve each scampi-stuffed tilapia with a generous spoonful of pico de gallo.
