5 Tablespoons Tamarind Concentrate/Paste

6 Tablespoons Sugar

- Clear
Directions
- On high heat, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and the butter to a pan. Once the butter is melted, add the bell peppers and onion.
- Cook the bell peppers and onion until soft for about 5 minutes, then season to taste with Tony’s seasoning and set aside.
- Using the same pan, add the garlic and cook it on low heat for about 1-2 minutes until aromatic.
- Add the tamarind concentrate/paste, sugar, water, 3-5 tablespoons of Tony’s seasoning, and the lime juice to the pan. Combine and cook everything together for about 3-5 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken, then remove the sauce and set aside.
- With any fish of your choice, cut 2-3 vertical slits on each side of the fish, then marinate the fish in Tony’s Seafood Marinade, ensuring the marinade is generously coated on both sides of the fish.
- Once done marinating, remove the excess marinade, and loosely coat both sides of the fish in the flour.
- Add the cooking oil to a pot and let it reach at least 300°F before adding in the fish.
- Fry the fish for 10-15 minutes, flipping the fish halfway through cook time. Once done, remove the fish from the oil and let the excess oil drain on paper towels and a wire rack.
- Plate the fish, drizzle over the Cajun tamarind sauce, top with the bell peppers, garnish with green onions, Thai chili peppers (optional), and serve with rice.
