Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole trout (cleaned and butterflied)
- 200 grams raw shrimp (peeled, deveined, and chopped)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 100 grams breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 4 slices lemon slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the chopped shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the shrimp just turn pink. Remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
Add the parsley, lemon juice, breadcrumbs, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the shrimp mixture. Stir well to combine. This is your stuffing mixture.
Open each butterflied trout and season the inside lightly with salt and pepper. Evenly distribute the stuffing mixture between the two trout, pressing gently to secure the filling.
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the outside of the trout, then brush the melted butter over the stuffed fish for additional flavor.
Carefully transfer the stuffed trout to the baking sheet. Top each trout with 2 lemon slices for added flavor and moisture during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the trout is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Serve warm with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
