Miami (Five) Spice Recipe-Grouper Fillets and Pasta For Two Under $10


Back row-Baiana peppers, limes, capers, mango, banana sauce...
Front row (clockwise from left)-Lavender sea salt, ginger, mushrooms, Asian cilantro, fat scallions...


Grouper fillets-12 oz. $3.99 (six frozen fillets) at Food Giant on 79th St Causeway...
Start wrapping in aluminum foil...cover with other ingredients, then other 3 fillets...


Wrap tightly and cook at 350 for 25 minutes. Unwrap and slide onto big plate...



The fish stays very moist in the foil-but don't overcook it...



Serve with some thin spaghetti, which has been doused with olive oil, fried garlic, and sriracha sauce...




This is also an unusual sauce for the fish...use discreetly...



These peppers are extremely hot-have plenty of cold beer ready...



From Brazil...




Did I mention the five-spice powder? Always works with fish... didn't end up using the mango in the dish-I ate it while waiting for the fish to cook. Who knew mango went so well with Hoegaarden?
