2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed Salt and pepper
2 lb. sea bass steaks
1/2 lb. medium-sized raw shrimp, shelled and deveined Tomato wedges, ripe olives, parsley sprigs, and lemon wedges
Recipe
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a frying pan over medium heat, melt butter; add mushrooms and cook just until limp; then air in tomatoes and garlic; heat through. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Wipe fish with damp cloth; cut into serving-size pieces (about 3 by S inches), if desired. Arrange pieces in single layer, without crowding, in greased large, shallow baking pan. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper and spoon mushroom mixture evenly over fish; arrange shrimp evenly over fish.
Bake, uncovered checking for change in tranlucency or until fish flakes readily when prodded in thickest portion with a fork and shrimp are pink. For a 1-inch thick piece of fish (measured in thickest portion), allow 10 minutes. (Allow same ratio of thick ness to timeÑI inch: 10 minutesÑfor fish of all thicknesses.)
Remove fish from oven; transfer to a warm serving platter, along with vegetable mixture (discard pan juices).
To serve, tilt platter slightly and spoon off juices that have accumulated; discard. Garnish platter with tomato wedges, olives, parsley sprigs and lemon wedges. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
