Stuffed Red Snapper Recipe
The stuffed red snapper recipe is a baked recipe for snapper that I often prepare for homely meals. Stuffed with a rice shrimp and veggie mix with gingeroot the snapper is rubbed with lime and baked. I love to serve this with the deglazed fond sauce, that I take off the baking pan with cold white wine.

1 red snapper (about 5 pounds)
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 lime
