Grilled Snapper Vera Cruz

Recipes »  Main Dish  »  Fish and Shellfish

An amazing sauce to go atop any fish really. I also have used over pasta and received rave reviews. Add a little cornstarch and water if you'll be putting it over pasta or rice.

"Fresh snapper is plentiful here on the Gulf Coast so this recipe is a real winner. We like it over some Texmati rice.
The picture by Susan is truly wonderful also. " - promfh

    Very good recipe. However I made it with boneless, skinless chicken breasts. The sauce also works well with thin bone in pork chops. Yum!

    Looks awesomely yummy!
    However, the cuisine should be Mexico, not Argentina... ;-)

    I grilled fresh snapper in my smoker using oak and a bit of hickory. This recipe is a real winner!

    Thanks so much for this recipe. It's absolutely delicious! Next time, we will probably try it over pasta.
