Serving: Serve hot right out of the oven for the best flavor and texture. A squeeze of lemon over the top brightens every bite.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven at 325°F (165°C).
Make Ahead: You can prepare and stuff the fillets a few hours in advance, then refrigerate until ready to bake.
Variations
Seafood Swap: Substitute shrimp with crab meat, crawfish, or even lobster for a luxurious twist.
Cheese Blend: Try Monterey Jack, Gouda, or cream Havarti for a creamier texture.
Pan-Seared Option: Instead of baking, sear the stuffed fillets in a skillet with butter for 4–5 minutes per side, then finish in the oven.
Spicy Cajun Style: Add extra Cajun seasoning or a pinch of cayenne pepper for more heat.
