Skillet Tilapia With Shrimp

This simple Skillet Tilapia with Shrimp is usually a quick weeknight dinner that tastes exactly like an Olive Garden knock-off!

A couple weeks ago I went along to the classic Italian Restaurant that is certainly know for it is rarely ending salad and breadsticks… Olive Garden.

MY OTHER RECIPES

I'm about free carbs.

Anyways, I ordered myself something light to choose my 99 breadsticks. I ordered their baked Tilapia with Shrimp. It was most enjoyable on the palate, but I couldn't help but thinking how easy it might be for me to get this in my own kitchen.

For a quarter of the cost.

Let's be real guys. I have 4 children with bottomless pits for stomachs.

I do not want to take my children out to eat often. So when I found 6 substantial Tilapia filets for $4 inside my local grocery store… yeah… that sure beats paying $16 for starters.

I also found a 1 lb. bag of frozen shrimp for $5. This meal was shaping up real well.

I took all of my ingredients home and whipped up this delicious meal in just 20 minutes.

Seriously!

I fed my whole family, a cafe or restaurant worthy meal, cheaper than $15, inside of 20 minutes.

AND EVERYONE LOVED IT!!

Let's just point out that after that I knew I needed to express it along with you. I'm just nice that way. 🙂

(I also desired to eat it again)

Your household is going to love this light and refreshing, restaurant worthy dinner!

salt and pepper

3 tbsp butter, cut into tablespoons

2 tbsp freshly chopped parsley

8 oz. small raw shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed

Instructions

Heat oil within a heavy bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl oil around in pan to coat. Once hot, reduce heat to medium.

Toss the garlic in to the hot skillet and stir until fragrant, about half a minute. Pour the white wine in the pan and utilize a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits on the bottom on the pan. Add the chicken broth and fresh lemon juice and cook till the liquid has reduced to about 1/2. Add in the butter and parsley and stir until melted.

Add the shrimp on the skillet and cook in sauce till the shrimp have turned pink, about 5 minutes. Serve the shrimp and sauce on top with the tilapia filets. Enjoy!

Notes

You may replace the white wine with cooking wine or extra chicken broth.
