INGREDIENTS:

4 (4 ounce) fillets tilapia
10-15 Shrimp (Deveined/Peeled/Tails Off)
butter flavored cooking spray
4 teaspoons margarine, melted
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill weed
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon pepper- freshly ground

4 tablespoons cream cheese
5 tablespoons lemon juice/zest, or to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill weed
2-4 green onions, chopped
1/2 avocado, smashed

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a cooking sheet with non-stick spray. Place the tilapia fillets and shrimp on the sheet, and coat them lightly with cooking spray. Spoon the melted margarine over each fillet and shrimp, then drizzle with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Season with pepper, lemon zest and 2 tablespoons of dill. (You can use lemon pepper seasoning instead of lemon zest and pepper).

Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily and shrimp is pink. While the fish is baking, combine the cream cheese, 5 tablespoons of lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of dill in a small bowl. Heat in the microwave for 1 minute and 10 seconds, then stir to blend. Add in avocado and green onions, stirring continually. Add shrimp when done.
Place fillets onto serving plates, and spoon sauce around them or on top.
