After having some of my own fresh-caught flounder, as prepared by cousin Alan during our family reunion, I was wowed and inspired by his recipe. What I learned, simply, is to use Ritz crackers and mayo and crab meat for stuffing. In this case I tried chopped up shrimp. The shrimp adds a nice texture and it could even fool you into thinking it was lobster. Delicious!
So good, I want to make it again for dinner tonight.
Start with 2 filets of sole (aka flounder)
mix up:
6 Ritz crackers, crushed up using your hands
a dollop of mayonnaise (Hellman's of course)
a squeeze of lemon
chopped up parsley and green onions
6 shrimp, cooked and chopped up into small morsels
Put a heaping scoop on each filet, tuck ends under and place in a buttered baking dish. Top with a couple more crushed crackers and a pat of butter. Bake at 400ยบ for 10 minutes.
The taster overwhelmingly approved this recipe!
Had this again for dinner, this time with one filet and minus the green onion & parsley. It was still delicious and gobbled up! The taster prefers it stuffing-side up.
