CREAMY JALAPENO TILAPIA

Delicious!!! Sauteed jalapenos, garlic, and spinach in a creamy lemon butter sauce tossed with angel hair pasta. Breaded garlic tilapia topped with diced tomatoes and parsley.

I have tried something similar to this Creamy Jalapeno Tilapia recipe at a couple of different restaurants. I am always disappointed when I do. This is something I very much enjoy to eat. It’s not always in my calorie budget. But, sometimes you just have to let yourself indulge. This is something I don’t make often. But, when I do I savor every bite with a nice glass of wine.

Thank you for visiting my Blog. I’ll see you next time.
