Red Snapper Recipe?

[Travis C.]

Heading to FL tomorrow night and my uncle caught some red snapper on Saturday for us once we get there.

It's waiting in the freezer of our house to cook.

Any recipe suggestions?

I haven't had snapper before.

I could use a recipe too. I have 6 fillets and would like something simple. Thanks in advance.

I hear the best way is "Blackened."

Here is a straightforward ingredient list:

Ingredients:

1 heaping tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons salt
1 heaping teaspoon garlic powder
1 heaping teaspoon onion powder
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons black pepper
1/2 teaspoon leaf thyme
1/2 teaspoon leaf oregano

You can buy it pre-made but it generally is higher in soium.

I have never heard of blackened Red Snapper, not to say it is not possible, but have heard of blackened Red Fish.

I have some red fish too. I will blacken them. I'll use Chef Paul Prudhomme's Blackened redfish magic. An excellent seasoning to blacken about anything.
I was thinking I could put the red snapper on the grill in a foil pouch. I was thinking a little Tony Chachere's creole seasoning with some bell peppers , lemon and orange slices. Maybe a little sweet onion or green onion on top. Then cook it on the grill until done. Can you think of anything else that might be good on it? I wonder if a little Italian dressing would add some flavor?
For the redfish I'll coat it in bacon grease first then season it real good. Then on to a hot cast iron skillet.
Thanks for the ideas.
