Lemon Pepper Seafood Packets
Ingredients
- 4 fillets (about 1 1/3 pounds) of sea bass or other firm, white-fleshed fish, such as orange roughy or true cod

- Add the lemon rind and seasoning blend and stir to blend.
- Divide the shrimp and place on top of the fish fillets.
- Sprinkle each with paprika.
- Fold the foil carefully to form packets that will not leak.
