Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound Asparagus thin or medium
  • 2 tablespoons Butter unsalted, softened
  • 1 Lemon Zest grated
  • 1 Salt And Black Pepper to taste
  • 4 large Tilapia fillets, 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds total
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice fresh
  • 2 oz Shrimp cooked, rinsed and drained

Directions

  1. Snap off the thick ends of the asparagus, cut the spears diagonally into bite-size pieces, and blanch in lightly salted water. Drain and cool.
  2. Meanwhile, beat the butter until light and blend in the lemon zest; season to taste with salt and pepper.
  3. Preheat the oven to 450° f (230° c).
  4. For each portion, fold a 12-inch square of baking parchment in half diagonally and crease the corners.
  5. Arrange one portion of tilapia filet on one side of the paper.
  6. Season with a little lemon juice and top with a quarter of the shrimp and asparagus.
  7. Dot with a quarter of the lemon butter.
  8. Fold the other side of the paper over the fish and seal the package into a half oval with a series of creases, starting with one corner and finishing with a twist at the opposite end.
  9. Repeat for the remaining portions.
  10. Bake the packages on a sheet pan until the paper is browned and puffy, 7 to 8 minutes.
  11. To serve, slit open each package and slide the contents, out onto a plate; or serve in the paper, letting each diner cut open his own.
