Scampi Stuffed Tilapia With Pico De Gallo #RSC image

Ready, Set, Cook! Reynolds Wrap Contest Entry. This ties three of my favorites: fish, shrimp scampi, and Pico de Gallo in a tasty meal! The preparation is so versatile that if you didnt want to bake this in your oven you could easily alter the recipe to take it out on the grill or even the crock pot! I created this recipe one weekend to treat my family to a flavor packed dinner plus make it easy on myself for the clean-up.
