Pesce a L'Aqua Pazza (Fish in Crazy Water)

Recipe courtesy of ATSBRIDE

 

4 large Tilapia Filets

1 Cup Dry White Wine

1 Fresh Roma Tomato Diced OR 1 Small Can Diced Red tomato

1 lg. or 2 small Shallots

A few sprigs of Fresh Parsley

2 Cloves Garlic - minced/crushed

Olive Oil

Salt/Pepper

 

1. In deep fry pan pour in olive oil - enough to coat the bottom of the pan
2. Add your shallots & garlic ( you can adjust how much shallot/garlic you use to your taste). Saute - careful not to burn. 
3. Slowly add Wine & bring your burner down to low/medium
4. Add the Parsley, Salt, Pepper
5. Add The Tilapia & tomato ( I add the tomato last so that they don't get too mushy)
6. Cook for about 5 min. on each side - a little less or more depending on thickness of the fish

This is really a very very simple recipe & your family will think you spent a long time on the Aqua Pazza (or crazy water).  Most of my measurements are eyeballed - you can adjust to your taste!

 

You can subsitute a pound of shrimp for the tilapia and it will also come out great!  We serve it w/ brown rice or a vegetable.  When making it with shrimp, I add a bit more wine & make angel hair pasta.
