Awesome Seafood Dinner

On the menu:
Blackened Tilapia
Shrimp Scampi
Mussels
Veggies with Cheese Sauce

The Blackened Tilapia was so easy to make and requires
only the fish and some common herbs and spices.
I got the recipe here.




The Shrimp Scampi was SeaPak brand. Very tasty.


If you are making this meal for more than two people,
I suggest making it from scratch. Here is the recipe I use.

The walmart brand mussels I got were a great buy.
2 one pound bags for $2.50.


They were very simple to make. You just stab a bag a few times,
microwave for 6 minutes, and viola!! Mussels!!

The veggies were Green Giant brand.
Feel free to pick which ever you prefer.
We used Broccoli, Carrots, Cauliflower & Cheese Sauce.
