Seafood Pasta

Advertisements

Seafood is always a nice treat. Seafood is somewhat available where I live, but it’s not always fresh or terribly affordable. For that reason I find flash frozen seafood to be both affordable and just as good in quality as fresh. Seafood goes great with oil, that’s what there are so many recipes for seafood with an oil and butter sauce. This tilapia and shrimp also have a very light flavor, so adding chives adds a nice flavor that might get lost if you choose a stronger fish like salmon.This recipe takes only as long as it takes to cook your noodles. The tilapia cooks up very fast and the shrimp, if frozen and pre-cooked, only takes about a minute to cook before you’ll have to start worrying about over cooking. This recipe made 4 Adult sized servings.

One-Pan Shrimp and Spinach Pasta

Advertisements

One-pan meals are easy to make and greats a great tasting dish. This one-pan meal is no exception. The chicken broth is absolutely delicious in this dish, then the milk and parmesan add a bit of creaminess to the sauce. The spinach also has it’s own flavor though it imparts a bit to the broth, then the shrimp don’t get much time to add to the over all flavor, but they do add a unique flavor, so not every bit is the same. I made some alterations to the recipe since I made it. I added too much broth at the beginning, so my dish was very runny, almost a sou;p. I also altered the order of adding the ingredients in the beginning. I added the pasta first, but I should have started with the spinach first, because I wanted the spinach to boil for at least 15 minutes total, but the pasta only needed about 14 minutes. This dish was absolutely delicious! It made 4 large adult sized portions.

Lemon, Rosemary, and Thyme Salmon

Advertisements

Last week was my birthday so for my birthday dinner I made this delicious meal. Pink salmon fillets baked in lemon juice with dried rosemary and thyme. When I made this, I also added 2 cloves of minced garlic, however, that added no flavor, so it is best to omit. If you have a spice grinder or mortar and pestle, grind up your rosemary and thyme so it’s smaller pieces, otherwise it is not inconvenient as is. Salmon is not only healthy, but is also tasty. Some people don’t like salmon because it is “too fishy” in flavor. So, if you don’t like the fish flavor, tilapia will be a better option for you. I was able to buy this salmon for a great price in the frozen section of Aldi’s. Serve with a small side of melted butter to enhance the flavor of the salmon. This recipe makes enough for 2 adults.
