Cajun Beer-Basted Red Drum On The Grill - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 lbs redfish fillets, skin on but scaled (red drum)
    1 tablespoon garlic, minced
    1/2 teaspoon black pepper, fresh-ground
    4 tablespoons butter, unsalted
    2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
    2 tablespoons cajun seasoning (spicy)
    3 garlic cloves, minced
    2 tablespoons onions, minced
    2 tablespoons green peppers, minced
    2 tablespoons parsley, minced
    12 ounces beer
Preparation
    Send DH out to set a medium fire in grill.
    Rinse filets & pat dry. Sprinkle cut sides with garlic & pepper, pressing them gently onto filets.
    In small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat & add 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce and Cajun seasoning, garlic, onion, green pepper, parsley.
    Stir & saute until onion translucent & sauce darkened & slightly thickened. Do not burn garlic - it will become bitter & spoil baste.
    Add bottle of beer, 2nd tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce & simmer 15 minutes on medium-high heat.
    Lay filets onto oiled grill grates or place on oiled aluminum foil over grill grates ( I prefer this so I can sop the filets without flareups & ash). Cook 20 minutes (or 1 cold beer) over low-medium heat, raising lid only to baste generously. Done when thickest area of fillet flakes easily. Enjoy!
