step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Roast the tilapia:

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Line two sheet pans with foil. Pat the tilapia dry with paper towels. Place on one of the sheet pans. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; turn to coat. Evenly coat 2 seasoned tilapia fillets with enough of the weeknight hero spice blend to coat (you may have extra). Evenly coat the remaining seasoned tilapia fillets with the guajillo chile sauce. Roast 7 to 9 minutes, or until lightly browned and cooked through.* Leaving the oven on, remove from the oven.

*An instant-read thermometer should register 145°F.

2 Cook the shrimp:

Meanwhile, peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels (remove the tails, if desired). Season with salt and pepper. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1 tablespoon olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned shrimp and chopped garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through. Turn off the heat and stir in the butter until melted and combined.

3 Prepare the ingredients:

Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce for bulk cooking. Halve the potatoes lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces. Halve, peel, and thinly slice the onion. Halve the snow peas crosswise. Roughly chop the roasted peppers. Cut off and discard the stem of the poblano peppers. Halve lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then thinly slice crosswise. Thoroughly wash your hands immediately after handling.

4 Roast the potatoes, onion & poblano peppers:

Transfer the potato pieces, sliced onion, and sliced poblano peppers to the remaining sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and arrange in an even layer. Roast 22 to 24 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.

5 Make the vegetable orzo:

Meanwhile, add the pasta to the pot of boiling water. Cook, uncovered, 6 minutes. Add the halved peas. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 3 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot. Add the spinach, chopped roasted peppers, and a drizzle of olive oil; stir until combined and the spinach is wilted. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

6 Make the Spicy Mascarpone:

Combine the mascarpone, 2 teaspoons of water, and as much of the chile paste as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

7 Make the Spanish-Spiced Mayo:

Combine the mayonnaise, vinegar, and half the Spanish spice blend (you will have extra). Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

8 Make the Creamy Salsa Verde:

Combine the salsa verde and crème fraîche. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.
