Ingredients

• 4 pieces flounder fillets (or other white fish fillets)
• 1 cup raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 small shallot (minced)
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 medium lemon
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup white wine (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Prepare the shrimp filling: Finely chop the raw shrimp and place it in a medium-sized bowl.

Step 3

Add minced garlic, minced shallot, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, black pepper, and the juice of half the lemon to the bowl. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Lay out the flounder fillets on a clean surface. Lightly sprinkle them with salt, pepper, and paprika.

Step 5

Spoon a generous portion of the shrimp mixture onto one end of each fillet, then roll them up tightly, starting from the filled end.

Step 6

Secure the rolled fillets with toothpicks to hold the stuffing in place.

Step 7

In an ovenproof skillet or baking dish, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the rolled fillets seam-side down and sear for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden.

Step 8

Carefully add white wine to the pan (if using), along with the juice of the other half of the lemon. Remove from heat and baste the fillets with the sauce.

Step 9

Bake the skillet or baking dish in the oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 10

Remove toothpicks before serving. Garnish with additional parsley and lemon wedges if desired.

Step 11

Serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as rice pilaf or steamed vegetables.
