🔥 Red Snapper in Rich Creamy Creole Sauce — A Southern Classic with a Twist! 🐟🌶️**


Tender red snapper fillets simmered in a velvety Creole sauce loaded with sautéed veggies and a kick of spice. Perfect served over fluffy rice for a soul-satisfying meal.


Ingredients:

* 4 red snapper fillets (6 oz each), skin on or off

* 1 tbsp olive oil

* ½ cup chopped onion

* ½ cup chopped green bell pepper

* ½ cup chopped celery

* 2 garlic cloves, minced

* ¼ cup all-purpose flour

* 1½ cups chicken broth

* ½ cup heavy cream

* ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped

* 1 tbsp Creole seasoning (adjust to taste)

* 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

* ½ tsp cayenne pepper (optional for heat)

* Salt & black pepper, to taste

* 2 tbsp butter (optional, for extra richness)

* Cooked rice, for serving


Instructions:

1. **Make the sauce:** Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Sauté onion, bell pepper, and celery until softened (5-7 mins). Add garlic, cooking for 1 minute more until fragrant.

2. **Create roux:** Sprinkle flour over veggies and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden, forming the base to thicken the sauce.

3. **Add liquids & seasoning:** Slowly whisk in chicken broth to avoid lumps. Stir in heavy cream, Creole seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne (if using). Let simmer gently for 5-7 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.

4. **Cook snapper:** Stir butter into the sauce if using. Nestle snapper fillets into the sauce, cover, and cook 5-7 minutes until fish flakes easily.

5. **Serve:** Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately over cooked rice.
