Easy Red Snapper With Shrimp Stuffing - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 lbs red snapper, cleaned and boned
1/4 cup chopped celery
2 tablespoons chopped onions
4 tablespoons butter, separate in half
3 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
1 cup plain breadcrumbs
1 cup cooked baby shrimp
1 egg
salt and pepper

Preparation

This can be done both in the oven or on the grill. My BH and I prefer it on the grill.
Preheat oven to 350\u00b0 (if using oven).
Rub fish inside and out with salt. Set aside.
Saute onion and celery in 2 tablespoons butter until soft. Add bacon, bread crumbs, egg, shrimp, salt & pepper; mix well.
Stuff fish; close with turkey thread, turkey picks, or toothpicks. Place in baking pan and brush with 2 tablespoons melted butter. Bake 40 minutes.
If using the grill, I still recommend brushing with butter, and grill 20-25 minutes turning about 4 times as not to break the fish up. Remove picks and enjoy!
