  1. Inferno Grilled Snapper Recipe

    This recipe will give your grilled snapper a fiery twist with bold spices and a zesty finish.

    Ingredients:

    • 2 whole red snappers (about 1–1.5 lbs each), cleaned and scaled
    • 3 tbsp olive oil
    • 4 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 tbsp paprika
    • 1 tbsp smoked paprika (for extra smokiness)
    • 1 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust for heat level) 🌶️🌶️🌶️be careful not to burn the house down!
    • 1 tsp chili powder
    • 1 tsp cumin
    • 1 tsp black pepper
    • 1 tsp salt
    • 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
    • 1 tbsp fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
    • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
    • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

    Instructions:

    1. Prepare the Marinade:
      In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, chili powder, cumin, black pepper, salt, lemon zest, and thyme. Mix well to create a thick, spicy paste.
    2. Marinate the Snapper:
      Score the skin of the snapper with 2–3 diagonal cuts on each side. Rub the marinade generously all over the fish, making sure to get into the cuts and inside the cavity. Let it marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
    3. Preheat the Grill:
      Heat your grill to medium-high (around 400°F/200°C). You want it hot but not so hot that the fish will burn before cooking through.
    4. Grill the Snapper:
      Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the snapper on the grill, cooking for about 4–5 minutes per side (depending on the size of the fish) until the flesh flakes easily with a fork and the skin is crispy. Be gentle when flipping to keep the fish intact.
    5. Finishing Touches:
      Once grilled, drizzle the fish with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes and chopped parsley for garnish.
    6. Serve:
      Serve with grilled vegetables or a light salad on the side, along with some extra lemon wedges.

    Note: Adjust the cayenne and carolina reaper chilli to your heat preference for a truly fiery "inferno" experience.
