🌿 Ingredients
- 1 lb seafood mix (shrimp, scallops, crab meat, or white fish)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small shallot, finely chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream or coconut cream
- ½ cup white wine or seafood stock
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or dill for garnish
- Optional: cooked pasta, rice, or crusty bread to serve
🔥 How to Make It
- Sauté aromatics:
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and shallots, cooking until fragrant (1–2 minutes).
- Cook the seafood:
- Add seafood to the skillet and sauté until just cooked through (shrimp turn pink, scallops are opaque). Remove and set aside to prevent overcooking.
- Make the sauce:
- Deglaze the pan with white wine or seafood stock, scraping up any browned bits.
- Stir in heavy cream, smoked paprika, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Simmer gently until slightly thickened.
- Combine and finish:
- Return the seafood to the pan and toss gently to coat in the sauce. Heat through for another minute.
- Serve:
- Serve immediately over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill for a pop of color and fresh flavor.
💡 Tips for Perfect Ocean Bliss
- Use fresh or high-quality frozen seafood for the best flavor.
- Avoid overcooking seafood — it should remain tender and succulent.
- Adjust richness by using half cream, half broth, or coconut milk for a lighter version.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick that mimics ocean breeze spice.
