Jalapeno Garlic Tilapia by Johnny Carino's

All I have to say is YUM! Johnny Carino's is better of course, but I have a feeling their's is even higher in calories than mine! Eek!

Ingredients:
2 (4 ounce) tilapia fillets
1/2 cup white flour
2 ounces butter
1 tsp chopped garlic
1/4 cup diced jalapeno
1 cup chopped de-stemmed spinach (or 10 oz frozen spinach, thawed)
6 ounces heavy cream
1/4 cup butter
5 ounces angel hair pasta
1/4 cup diced grape tomatoes
Lemon pepper
Salt
Fresh parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions:
Prepare the pasta as directed on the box while completing the below instructions.

Melt the 2oz butter in a skillet on medium heat, then add the garlic. Sprinkle each side of the tilapia fillets with salt & lemon pepper (to taste), then dredge the tilapia in the flour and add to the skilled w/melted butter. Cook fillets about 3 minutes on each side or until they are fully cooked and flaky. Move the tilapia to a place and cover with foil.

Add the jalapenos, spinach, heavy cream and 1/4 cup butter to the empty skillet and heat all ingredients on medium-high heat. Let mixture come to a boil and then remove from the heat to thicken. Add salt and lemon pepper if desired.

Add the pasta to a bowl or plate, top with spinach/cream mixture, add tilapia and sprinkle with cheese (if desired) & diced tomatoes.

Tip: To make this a spicy dish just leave in some of the jalapeno seeds, otherwise just wash them off.
