    Fresh Black Grouper – 2lbs
    12in sauté pan
    Black ground pepper – 1tbl
    Char grill
    Kosher salt – 1tbl
    Oven preset at 400 degrees
    Butter – 1/3cup (melted)
    Roasting pan or baking sheet
    Pan Spray
    Tongs or Metal Spatula
    Lemon halves – 4ea
    10inch chefs knife
    Zucchini – 6ea
    Red peppers – 1ea
    Chicken stock – 6oz
    White wine – 4oz
    Lemons – 2ea
    Capers – 2tbls
    Kosher Salt
    Shallots – 1ea medium size
    Butter – 1cup
    Fresh Jumbo lump crab (shelled) – 1lb
    Procedures:
    Grouper
    1.
    Cut grouper filets in 6 to 8oz portions.
    2.
    Season grouper to your liking, I like a little on the heavy side since a lot comes off during the grilling process.
    3.
    Spray filets on bottom side to stop from tearing on the grill.
    4.
    Place on 400 degree grill. Make nice diamond shaped sear marks.
    5.
    Transfer onto baking sheet pouring melted butter over top of each filet, and add lemons cut in half in pan. Pour about 2 cups water on the bottom of pan to prevent grouper from drying out. Place in pre-heated 350 degree oven for about 10mins (depending the thickness of the filet, check before serving)
    Zucchini & Lemon Caper Crab Butter Sauce
    1.
    Wash zucchini and then cut from top to bottom about 1/3inch in from the skin all the way around. I use the rest for vegetable stock or vegetable soup.
    2.
    Take cut zucchini and julienne into 1/8inch strips.
    3.
    Take the red pepper and julienne the same as the zucchini, and mix both together. You can do this a couple hours ahead of time.
    4.
    Sautee in vegetables in butter or a little white wine and season to your taste.
    5.
    In sauté pan place chicken stock, white wine, juice of both lemons, capers, salt, and shallots. Reduce this until ¼ is left.
    6.
    Cube butter and place in pan, also add crab meat. Continually stir on medium heat to create a nice smooth butter sauce. Do not place crab meat in any earlier or it will fall apart and you won’t have the nice jumbo lumps of crab.
    7.
    Twirl zucchini on plate like spaghetti, place nice grilled fish on top pouring evenly crab butter sauce over each piece. Garnish each dish with nice roasted lemons and some fresh herbs.
