Grilled Blackened Red Snapper

Cook mainly from reduced calorie healthy recipes/books and authors or adapt recipes to become less calorie, (IE: more veggies, lean protein, then carbs and fats) and also convert to a vegetarian recipe at times. Like lots of flavor from herbs and spices rather then fat and carbs. Heavy on vegetarian and fish, but do eat most anything.

Many recipes for Cajun seasonings emphasize heat. With this rub, the herbs and spices come to the forefront and you will use less black pepper than in many other blends. The hot cayenne pepper is optional, with a minimum amount suggested. If you have kids or guests who do not like their food too hot, this is a good recipe for your snapper.

Blackened red snapper is absolutely delicious and perfect for just about any occasion. Serve it with grilled vegetables and salad for a complete meal.

"This grilled blackened red snapper recipe is so delicious and easy to make! The lemon-butter sauce is a great addition to this dish because it compliments the lean and firm fish very well" - Kiana Rollins
