I was watching Paula Deen and discovered her recipe for Red Snapper. I have made this with Salmon and now am trying with the Red Snapper.

4 (8-ounce) salmon fillets or red snapper, about 1/2-inch thick
2 tablespoons of garlic herb seasoning no salt
1 cup chopped onions
1 pkg tri color peppers chopped
1/2 cup (1 stick) garlic herb butter
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Season the fish with the salt and pepper. Spread the onions and pepper in a 13 by 9-inch glass baking dish and place the fish on top. Dot the fish with butter. Sprinkle with a little Worcestershire sauce. Bake for 20 minutes, then baste fish with pan juices. Sprinkle the fish with Parmesan and then place under the broiler for about 2 minutes or until the cheese browns. To serve, spoon the vegetables over the fish.

I first heard of this recipe from my dad. It has since become a favorite of my husbands. It is time consuming but, well worth the time to make.

Cook the onion and bell pepper in the bacon drippings in a skillet over medium high heat for 10 min or until tender, stirring constantly. Sprinkle with the flour. Cook for 2 minutes or until the flour begins to brown, stirring constantly. Add the shrimp mixture and stock. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the shrimp turns pink, stirring constantly. Add water or additional stock if sauce is to thick. Serve over creamy grits.
