   1      tb            Creole spice
   1      tb            Vegetable oil
   2      tb            Lime juice
   2      tb            Cilantro -- chopped

Season the fillets with the spice. In a medium saute pan over
medium-high heat, heat the oil. Sear the fish until deep golden brown
on both sides. Remove to a plate. In a shallow dish, combine the lime
juice, cilantro, jalapeno, and red pepper. Place the fish in the dish
and let it sit for 1 hour. In a small bowl, combine the papaya,
coconut milk, and coconut. Place 2 tb papaya mixture in the bottom of
two parfait glasses. Place a fillet in each glass and top each with
3 tb papaya mixture, then the snapper fillets. Top with the remaining
papaya mixture. Garnish with cilantro sprigs. Chill for 1 hour before
serving.
