Different Seafood: If you prefer, you can substitute the catfish with other firm white fish such as tilapia, snapper, or cod. You could also use scallops or other shellfish in place of shrimp.
Spicy Adjustments: Adjust the level of heat by adding more or less cayenne pepper to suit your preferences. For an even spicier kick, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the lemon butter sauce.
Herb Options: If you don't have fresh parsley, other fresh herbs such as basil, cilantro, or thyme will work well in the lemon butter sauce.
