Here are some finger-licking good seafood recipes that will have everyone asking for seconds!

BREADED FILLETS

INGREDIENTS:

2 tbsp olive oil
4-6 fish fillets (orange roughy, flounder, etc.)
1/4 cup bread crumbs
lemon pepper
seasoned salt

DIRECTIONS:

Spread olive oil in bottom of baking dish. Lay fish down side-by-side and turn over, coating with oil. Cover fish with bread crumbs and sprinkle on lemon pepper and seasoned salt to taste. Baked at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

BROILED SHRIMP

1 pound shrimp fresh or frozen (thawed) - peeled and deveined
1 /4 cup olive oil
seafood seasoning (I prefer Old Bay)

I usually cheat and buy a package of frozen uncooked shrimp that has already been peeled and deveined. Also, I think it is easier to put the shrimp on skewers before broiling. Baste shrimp lightly with oil and sprinkle seasoning on them. Broil on one side for 2-3 minutes, turn baste and sprinkle again - then broil for 2-3 more minutes. Serve with cocktail sauce.

FILET OF SOLE (Microwave)

INGREDIENTS:

1 /4 cup sliced almonds
1 /4 cup butter or margarine
2 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tbsp. white cooking wine
1 /2 tsp. dillweed
1 /2 tsp. salt
1 pound filet of sole or other white fish - fresh or frozen (defrosted)

DIRECTIONS:

Microwave almonds and butter in 2 qt. dish on HIGH for 5-6 minutes, or until almonds are slightly toasted; stir halfway through. Stir in lemon juice, wine, dillweed and salt. Arrange fish in butter mixture, turning to coat well. Cover with plastic wrap. Microwave on HIGH for 5-6 minutes, or until fish flakes easily. Let stand covered for 2 minutes.

SALMON LOAF

INGREDIENTS:

2 15-oz cans of salmon (boneless)
3 eggs
2 cups bread crumbs (more if desired)
1/2 cup milk
1 tbsp minced onion

DIRECTIONS:

Mix together all ingredients and shape into a loaf and put in a loaf pan (sprayed with cooking spray). Cook at 350 degrees for approx. 45 minutes.

SHRIMP 'N GRITS

INGREDIENTS:

2-3 slices bacon
1 tbsp dried minced onion
1tsp minced garlic
1 tbsp flour
1 cup coffee (can be instant, or saved from the morning pot)
1 lb medium raw shrimp (peeled & deveined)
salt & pepper to taste
favorite grits cooked according to package directions (instant is okay too)

DIRECTIONS:

Fry bacon in frying pan until crisp. Remove bacon and crumble when cooled. Add shrimp to bacon drippings and toss until pink (about 2 minutes). Remove shrimp with slotted spoon and set aside. Blend together flour and coffee and stir in frying pan with remaining drippings (if any) to make a brown gravy. Add garlic, onion, salt and pepper. Return shrimp and crumbled bacon to frying pan, bring to a simmer and serve over hot grits.
