Cajun sautéed tilapia and jumbo shrimp on a bed of spinach salad with raspberry vinaigrette.
|
- 4 pieces tilapia
- 4 pieces shrimp jumbo size
- 1 package organic spinach large
- 1 package croutons
- 1 package crispy onion pieces
- 1 package cranberries & roasted honey pecans
- 10 strawberries sliced
- 1 package crumbled feta cheese
- 1 bottle cajun seasoning Weber brand
- 1 bottle raspberry vinaigrette
- 2 tsp olive oil
- Prep: - clean strawberries & spinach - clean tilapia & shrimp - heat olive oil in a large skillet over low-medium stove top
- - lay fish and shrimp side by side, and season top with cajun seasoning. Season heavily and cover the top side completely.
- Cook the tilapia and shrimp: - place fish in skillet, seasoned side down - allow fish to cook on the first side until it is white more than halfway through the thickness of the fish. This ensures that this fish will be cooked thoroughly.
- - Season top of fish and turn over. - Cook the shrimp in the same manner, alongside the fish or after the fish is done cooking.
- Plate the salad ingredients: - create a large bed of spinach as the base - apply strawberries, dried cranberries & pecans, onion crisps, and croutons
- - place your cooked tilapia and shrimp on top of the salad - top with raspberry vinaigrette
Your dish is now ready to serve!

I have a confession – every time I see the fresh fish at the market I run away – I have NO clue how to cook fresh fish and the fish heads freak me out! You are such an amazing cook! You need a Old World New cookbook or something!

i love a warm salad especially with seafood. I usually do salmon and shrimp but now you make me want to try it with tilapia. Looks so good.
Tammy
Oh my this looks so yummy!!! I love all that spinach and tilapia is such a good fish here in Florida. Pinning
Shirley Wood
You had my attention when you said tilapia and shrimp in the same sentence! This salad looks fabulous! Pinning to my Summer Salads board. I am so ready for ‘salad season’! When I make this, I’ll have to sub the Cajun seasoning for something a little more mild but it will be good too!

I LOVE tilapia. I have tried lots of seasonings on it but not the cajun so I will be trying that out this week for sure!

I don’t eat much of tilapia but my family does, so I’m pinning this for later.
