Creamy Caper Orzo Tilapia

My husband doesn't really like seafood unless its breaded, and I love seafood of almost any kind, any way. So I have individually wrapped tilapia that I keep in the freezer and thaw a piece here and there to make for myself for lunch when he isn't around. This recipe I decided to get a little intricate for lunch by myself.

What You'll Need:

 2 tilapia filets 

1 onion diced

1 garlic shallot diced

1 Tablespoon of capers (don't worry if a little juice from the jar gets in)

1 cup of heavy whipping cream

1/4 cup of butter 

1/2 cup of Orzo

What to Do:

1. put 3 spoonfuls of butter throughout a skillet, then place tilapia in it, allow to cook on medium-low heat on each side for about 5 minutes
2. in a separate pan bring water to a boil like any other pasta, then pour in orzo and allow to cook for about 5 minutes or until tender
3. Drain butter and juice from fish once it is cooked, lower heat to low. 
4. Add heavy whipping cream, onion, garlic, and capers, and remaining butter
5. allow to simmer for about 7 minutes or so
6. put orzo on plate and then serve fish and sauce over the orzo
7. tada you have a yummy meal

This could be a really good supper meal as well just up the amount of fish and ingredients as needed, I had enough left when I was done eating for 1 more person to eat happily so I would say if your needing a recipe for two this would be your ticket!!!

Cheesy Jambalaya

This recipe is one of my husbands many favorites, partially cause its the one somewhat spicy thing I make (I am growing to like spicy food.....very slowly).

1 Onion diced
3 garlic shallots diced finely
1 large green pepper diced
3 Tablespoons of Butter
Sriracha sauce to your liking or hot sauce of your choice
Shredded Cheddar Cheese to your liking

What to do:

1. Preheat Oven to 350
2. Brown sausage on the outside in a pan, its ok if its not completely cooked it will finish cooking in the oven with the rest of the ingredients
3. Cook white rice according to instructions on box
4. slice sausage, dice ingredients 
5. layer the diced ingredients, cooked rice, and sliced sausage 
6. sprinkle Cheese over the top
7. Put in oven for 10 minutes
8. Stir and put more cheese on top and put back in the oven for 10 minutes
9. let stand for about 5 minutes
10. eat and enjoy!!
