How to make Shrimp Stuffed Flounder

Getting Started

Finely chop the onion, celery and green pepper.

Kitchen tip: I like to keep bell pepper in the freezer for times when I need just a small amount. I pre-measure and place in 1/4 and 1/2-cup amounts into small freezer-safe bags. They thaw quickly are are ready when needed.  

Rinse, peel, devein and chop the shrimp.

With a citrus reamer or juicer, measure 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.

Make the soft bread crumbs using 2-3 slices of bread in a small food processor.

You can use dried herbs but I think fresh are far better. Chop fresh chives, dill and parsley.

In a large skillet, melt butter. Add onion, celery and green pepper; saute until tender. 

Add shrimp; cook and stir until shrimp turn pink. 

Add broth, pimientos, Worcestershire sauce, dill, chives, salt and cayenne; heat through. 

Remove from heat; stir in bread crumbs.

Toss until evenly distributed. 

Spoon about 1/2 cup stuffing onto each fillet; roll up. 

Place seam side down in a greased 13×9-in. baking dish. 

Drizzle with butter and lemon juice. Sprinkle with seasonings. Bake, uncovered, 20-25 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
