Bernie's Grill's Snapper Pontchartrain Recipe

ingredients

FISH
2 snapper filets (6-8 ounce size)
1/2 cup cracker meal for breading
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal for breading
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup vegetable oil
salt, to taste
freshly-ground black pepper, to taste

SAUCE
2 tablespoons blackening mix
5 button mushrooms quartered
1/2 cup unsalted butter cut in half
1 lemon
1/4 cup white wine
1 cup heavy cream (40% fat)
1/2 cup shrimp, (90/110 count size)
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
1 bunch scallions, chopped

directions

For Fish: Put oil in pan and heat to 350 degrees F. Mix cracker meal, yellow cornmeal and flour. Dredge fish through breading. Put fish in pan and brown on both sides. Do not burn fish, if too thick. Turn oven to 350 degrees F and finish cooking in oven. Fish is done if a toothpick goes through it easily.

For Sauce: Heat pan to high heat. Add blackening mix. Don't burn it! Add room temperature butter. To keep from burning, shake pan or remove from heat. Add mushrooms and brown. The mushrooms will soak up all of the butter, so shake pan. Once mushrooms are brown, add wine to deglaze. Once wine separates, squeeze lemon and add cream.

Reduce cream until thick. Add shrimp, parsley, and scallions. When shrimp is pink and cooked, add garlic and butter. Take off stove, mix, and pour over fish. Enjoy!
