FLOUNDER (OR OTHER WHITE FISH) STUFFED WITH SHRIMP
This is best with thin fillets of flounder, tilapia, snapper, etc. They roll up easier. I've tried to correct the ingredients to reflect 1/2 lb shrimp, but it keeps reverting to 1/2 shrimp. Please use 1/2 lb shrimp. :)

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, fennel bulb and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but not browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the oregano and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Increase the heat to medium high, add the wine and cook until it almost completely evaporates, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and clam juice and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are tender and the broth is slightly thickened, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss the crab with the lemon zest, 1 tablespoon fennel fronds and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Season the flounder with salt and pepper. Place a packed 1/4 cup of the crab mixture about 2 inches from the widest end of each fillet and tightly roll the fish around the crab; insert a toothpick or small skewer through the center to secure.
- Gently nestle the flounder rolls in the simmering tomato broth. Cover and cook until opaque, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer the rolls to a rimmed platter with a slotted spoon and remove the toothpicks; tent with foil and set aside.
- Add the cockles to the simmering tomato broth, cover and cook until they just start opening, about 6 minutes. Stir in the shrimp and cook until just opaque and the cockles are completely open, about 2 more minutes. (Discard any unopened cockles.) Transfer the cockles, shrimp and broth to the platter with the flounder rolls and top with the remaining 1 tablespoon fennel fronds.

FLOUNDER WITH SHRIMP STUFFING
Living in New Hampshire fish and seafood were very reasonably price. So making this recipe didn't break the bank. Flounder is a very mild white fish, you could also use Dover Sole if you wanted. This dish is loaded with lots of flavor, you won't be disappointed.

FLOUNDER STUFFED WITH SHRIMP AND CRABMEAT
I created this recipe that is great served with rice pilaf and steamed vegetables. While this recipe is shown for 4 servings, it is easily halved for two servings, or doubled or tripled, etc. for larger gatherings.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F In a sauté pan, heat the olive oil and butter. Add the onions, garlic, celery, and peppers. Sauté for 2 minutes, or until the vegetables are wilted.
- Add the shrimp and season with salt and Old Bay (to taste). Sauté for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and place mixture into a bowl. Gently stir in the crabmeat, then the bread crumbs a little at a time, adding more as needed to gently bind. Set aside to cool.
- Place equal amounts of filling onto each fillet and roll up. (alternatively, you can place one fillet on the baking sheet, place filling atop the fillet, then place another on top, off to the side, to resemble a pocket of stuffing).
- Place the fish on a baking dish (seam side down if rolled). Drizzle the fish with the butter and sprinkle with lemon juice. Sprinkle top of fish with salt, black pepper and paprika.
- Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until fish is cooked thru. Remove the fish from the oven and serve with lemon wedges.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh flounder fillets. If you can't find fresh flounder, you can use frozen flounder fillets, but be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
- To make the shrimp stuffing, use a food processor to finely chop the shrimp. This will help to create a smooth and evenly distributed stuffing.
- Be sure to season the shrimp stuffing well with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This will help to bring out the flavor of the shrimp.
- When stuffing the flounder fillets, be careful not to overstuff them. Otherwise, the stuffing will be too dense and the flounder will be difficult to cook evenly.
- Bake the flounder fillets in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through. The flounder is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve the flounder fillets immediately with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or salad.
Conclusion:
Flounder with shrimp stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The flounder is flaky and tender, and the shrimp stuffing is flavorful and moist. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
