What Ingredients do I need?

Tilapia is a freshwater fish that is widely consumed around the world. It is a popular choice for its mild taste, versatility, and affordability. Tilapia is also a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals, making it a healthy option for those looking to incorporate more fish into their diets.
Shrimp -large or jumbo, peeled and deveined
Chicken Stock - The best type of chicken stock to use is one that is homemade. For canned stock, I look for ones that say reduced sodium or fat free.
Heavy Cream - I have not tried this with any other type of milk, heavy cream just makes the sauce more decadent
Unsalted butter is the most commonly used type of butter in baking, as it allows for more control over the amount of salt in the recipe.
Dried Chives or freshly chopped chives

How to make Olive Garden’s Baked Tilapia with Shrimp

Peel and devein the shrimp. Place the shrimp on one half of a lined sheet tray with parchment paper and the tilapia on the other half of the baking sheet.
Bake the tilapia and shrimp at 425 for 6 minutes. Take the pan out and flip the shrimp and tilapia to the other side. Bake for another 4 minutes.
To make the sauce, simmer a ½ cup of chicken stock until about reduced to ¼ cup. Add in some butter and heavy cream and the chives. You can use fresh if you want.
To serve, place the shrimp over the fish. Top the tilapia fillets with 2 tablespoons of the sauce. Enjoy

Recipe FAQs

Is tilapia a healthy fish to eat?

While tilapia is a popular choice for its taste and affordability, it is important to note that not all tilapia is created equal. Some tilapia farms have been criticized for their farming practices, which can be harmful to the environment and may result in fish that is less healthy. To ensure that you are getting high quality tilapia, look for fish that is sustainably farmed and certified by a reputable organization.

Is tilapia healthier than chicken?

Both tilapia and chicken are healthy and nutritious foods that can be part of a balanced diet. Tilapia is a low-fat and low-calorie fish that is a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. It is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can help reduce inflammation in the body and improve heart health.

Chicken is also a good source of protein and contains essential nutrients such as vitamin B12 and iron. However, the health benefits of chicken depend on how it is prepared. Grilled or baked chicken is a healthier option than fried chicken, which contains more calories and unhealthy fats. Ultimately, both tilapia and chicken can be healthy choices as part of a balanced diet, as long as they are prepared in a healthy way.
