Red Snapper with Mushrooms and Prawns
Pane-Bistecca
I was at the local market and there were several fish stalls. I couldn’t take my eyes off a red snapper. I had to buy one and my daughter was staring at the big prawns… so. for dinner I cooked red snapper with mushrooms and prawns and chimichurri.
Red snapper is a common fish from our area in Asia and it is very easy to cook. As it doesn’t have many bones, it is very easy to cook whole. The easiest way to avoid fish bones is to cut the cooked fish in the middle of the body with a spoon and then scrape the flesh upwards from the bones and scrape the other half of the cut downwards. This leaves the bones in the fish.
My daughter wanted mixed mushrooms served with it, so I fried them briefly with lots of herbs and a little white wine. And so that the fish didn’t become bland, I served a Chimichurri with it.
