Steps:

• cook your tilapia (tswana for fish btw) and season to taste, i perfer the above seasonings. at the same time cook a serving of grits, about 3 tablespoons. when grits are done dump some pre-cooked rice in there and warm that up. when the tilapia and grits/rice are done lay the fish on a bed of the grits. pour some jar-alfredo into the fish grease, add cream, and season to taste, then pour over the fish and grits. i got this idea from reading about grits -> ugali on wikipedia. i do not recommend using jar-alfredo as it tastes like shit, but you're in college, whatchya gonna do? i recommend going with your favorite sauce, mine just happens to be alfredo. this recipe takes about 10 minutes with frozen tilapia, and i guess less than that if its not frozen. i like to pepper my grits heavily, but i think buttering them in this case would be a poor idea. i think adding adding some rice makes for a very interesting texture and taste, and its cheap.

Steps:

• Prepare the fish: In a small bowl, whisk together the sweet paprika, black pepper, thyme, oregano, garlic powder, salt and cayenne. Pat the fish fillets dry, then sprinkle enough seasoning over both sides of the fillets to completely coat. Reserve remaining seasoning for another use. Allow the fish to sit for 15 minutes at room temperature.
• While the fish sits, make the cheese grits: Bring the chicken stock and salt to a boil in a large saucepan over high. Add the grits while whisking and reduce heat to maintain a simmer. Allow the grits to thicken, about 5 minutes or so, then stir in the milk, butter and cheese. Season with black pepper and more salt to taste. Keep over the lowest heat possible until ready to serve.
• Meanwhile, cook the fish: Heat a large cast-iron skillet with the olive oil and butter over medium-high. Add the fish fillets, and cook until the spices are darkened and aromatic, and the fish flakes easily with a fork, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
• Divide the grits among serving dishes and nestle the fish on top. Garnish the grits with more shredded cheese and the whole dish with the scallions. Serve immediately with lemon wedges for squeezing over the fish.
