    I am really proud to share this tasty Tilapia in Roasted Pepper Sauce recipe with you. I've been trying to come up with the perfect roasted pepper sauce and I finally found it! Yay!!! It pairs so well with tender tilapia and I can say, without any hesitation, that this dish makes it into my top 3 most loved recipes. Did I mention that it is super easy to make?

    Seriously, after you cook this dish, you'll feel like you are at an expensive restaurant. Don't forget to pair it with fresh, toasted bread and a glass of your favorite wine. You can also serve it on top of pasta if you'd like to have a more filling meal. I found I like it best with garlic bread. My husband loves dipping the bread into the creamy sauce while sipping his wine. Whatever you choose to serve it with, I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

      Absolutely delicious! I added shrimp to the sauce about 1 minute after the peppers and let them cook together. Finished the recipe as directed. Amazing. Received rave reviews from my husband and my Mom who is a tough judge! Would be delicious with about any seafood, maybe adding crab meat to the sauce as well. Or over grits.
