Alfredo Shrimp Tilapia

Submitted by MNLisaB

"This is my version of Ruby Tuesday's New Orleans Tilapia. Tilapia fillets are baked then topped with alfredo sauce, sauteed red peppers and garlic cooked shrimp. I'm not very good at copycatting recipes, but we had this last night and it was mighty fine."

I use sun-dried tomato Alfredo! And sided with roasted asparagus! Yummy!

Wow! This was soooo good. I used cocktail shrimp and mixed them and the bell peppers into the alfredo sauce before spooning it over the tilapia. Served it with some pasta tossed with arugula pesto, a recipe found on this site. Wonderful, rich meal. 5 stars all the way. Thanks for posting.

This was a lot better than I thought it would be. I had to make my own Creole seasoning, which I feel may have had something to do with the enhancement of flavor. It was easy to do, I cheated of course and saute'd the peppers, then the shrimp, and then added the Alfredo and let sit on warm heat until the fish was ready. My BF & I will be doing this one again. Thanks for posting.

"Oh wow," is what my family said after tasting this recipe. I had never paired fish with alfredo sauce before, so this was novel to them. My only addition was to add some black pepper to the creole seasoning since we like a little more heat. Other than that, I paired this with fettucine and broccoli mixed with the alfredo sauce, and this recipe is definitely a keeper.

I don't eat tilapia so I substitute snapper or mahi. Also use a light alfredo sauce with a pinch of nutmeg. I have also added spinach, then red peppers and shrimp. One of our favorite recipes!

This is a keeper! My husband loves RT's but we have to drive two hours to go there ~ no more! I just spiced up my Grandmother's white sauce for this instead of using Alfredo ~ added some parmesan and sour cream. Used Soul Seasoning (Creole) on the fish. Had frozen cooked shrimp on hand ~ SO easy. Thanks for the recipe!!

BETTER than at the restaurant! Instead of using straight creole seasoning, I mixed together some seasonings that were spicy but not HOT, for the 2 kiddos. I also used recipe#12365 for the alfredo to lighten it up a little. I omitted the sweet red pepper because I didn't have any. This is my favorite dish at Ruby Tuesday, and frankly, I don't think I'll need to go there anymore, because I can make a better, and more figure friendly version at home! Next time I'll serve with steamed broccoli and seasoned rice just like the restaurant, but this time I made recipe#58126 and creamed spinach, and thoroughly enjoyed a restaurant meal at home. Thanks SO much for posting!
