How to Make Stuffed Flounder La Fourche

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy pan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped celery, and 2 cloves minced garlic. Sauté until vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add 1 pound cooked shrimp (peeled and deveined), 1/2 pound lump crab meat, 1 large egg, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, until heated through.
  3. Carefully slice each flounder fillet (about 6 oz each, 2 fillets total) lengthwise on the dark side, creating a pocket. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
  4. Gently widen the pocket to accommodate the seafood stuffing.
  5. Season the stuffing with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Fill each flounder pocket generously with the stuffing, creating a small mound on top.
  7. Place the stuffed flounder in a baking dish. Pour 1 cup of dry white wine into the bottom of the dish.
  8. This will keep the flounder moist and prevent sticking.
  9. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon paprika evenly over the stuffed flounder.
  10. Bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the flounder is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
