Ingredients to make American Monkfish:

• 1 unit of onion
• 2 glasses of cognac
• 1 branch of tarragon
• 500 grams of prawns
• 40 grams of butter
• 1 kilogram of monkfish
• 2 units of ripe tomato

How to make American Monkfish:

1. Start by peeling and dicing the tomatoes along with the onion and tarragon. Heat a frying pan with oil and make a sauce with these ingredients.
2. This wonderful recipe for American monkfish can also be used to cook lobster, so if you prefer to prepare an American lobster dish, you will simply have to replace the monkfish with a lobster.
3. While the sauce is cooking, wash and peel the prawns along with the fish. Reserve then the heads of the prawns and the monkfish and if you want, you can also use some carabineers.
4. Add the heads and shells to the sauce to release all the flavor of the sea in our American fish sauce. After a couple of minutes, add half of the brandy and heat the pan over.
5. Tip: When the flames touch the alcohol, a flame will come out inside the pan, this will not burn the food, it will simply completely burn the alcohol in the cognac to release its entire flavor.
6. Continue cooking for 30 minutes and when the easy American sauce is ready, wait for it to rest for a moment away from the heat and blend everything to achieve a fine texture. Strain and reserve for later.
7. Now we go with the fish and shellfish. Cut the monkfish into thin fillets, fry in a pan with melted butter and also add the prawns.
8. Sauté everything together and then add the rest of the cognac to flame the pan again until all the alcohol is consumed.
9. Place the fish with the prawns in a casserole or casserole, bathe with the sauce that we had reserved and cook over low heat for 10 minutes.
10. After this time our dish will be ready and you will only have to enjoy all the flavor of this delicious American style monkfish.
