Alfredo Shrimp Scampi Dump Dinner

 


Photo source:  Food Network

"Just dump a box of pasta, bag of shrimp and a few other pantry staples into a dish and bake. Right before serving, stir in the heavy cream and top with grated cheese and fresh parsley for a rich and creamy weeknight dinner in a flash."  Comment from Food Network

This recipe is perfection!  My favorite food is shrimp and I could eat this every night.  The only change I would make is to take the tails off the shrimp.  I don't understand why these recipes are not prepared with no-tail shrimp.

Steamed Tilapia in Wine Sauce

 


Photo source:  Taste of Home

"I developed this recipe while working at a local winery. Fast and easy to prepare, it became an instant classic at my house. I use a lively dry pear wine in the sauce and recommend avoiding those wines that are sweet or semisweet. —Tenneille Brewer, Fayette, New York"  Comment from Tenneille Brewer, Fayette, New York for Taste of Home

This steamed tilapia recipe looks good even though I don't normally cook with wine.  I would like to give it a try.

Fried Fish

 


Photo source:  Taste of Home

"If you’re looking for a classic crispy, batter dipped fish recipe, this is it. The lemon pepper seasoning in the coating pairs perfectly with the accompanying recipe for creamy, tangy homemade tartar sauce."  Comment from Taste of Home

Look at that delicious looking fried fish . . . love it!!

Beer Battered Fish

"In this recipe, cold beer flavors the batter and keeps it light and crisp, thanks to the carbonation. Stick with a light-colored beer or nonalcoholic beer to create golden-brown fillets with a mild taste. Serve the fish hot with lemon wedges and a salad, or dig into pub vibes with pan fried French fries."  Comment from Taste of Home

Love fried fish and having different versions make me happy!

Crispy Beer Battered Fish

"This recipe uses cornstarch and flour in the batter to create extra-crispy fried fish. Feel free to swap in 
nonalcoholic beer, as the beer’s flavor and carbonation (not the alcohol) make the batter successful."  Comment from Taste of Home

Love fried fish!

Air Fryer Fish and Chips

"Air fryer fish fillets are just as crispy as the deep fried version. The cornflake breading creates a delightfully light and crispy exterior, while the fish stays nice and moist inside.

Air fryer fish is so simple to make. Like the traditional version, air fried fish fillets feature a light, crispy batter that creates a delightful crunch with each bite. It’s a perfect contrast to the moist, flaky fish inside. The dish works well with fresh fish, or you can use frozen cod."  Comment from Taste of Home

Love fried fish and happy to have an air fryer recipe!

Gulf Coast Style Sheet Pan Shrimp Boil

 


Photo source:  House of Nash Eats

"This easy sheet pan shrimp boil is loaded with juicy shrimp, sweet corn, tender potatoes, and smoky andouille sausage, roasted in the oven with classic Old Bay seasoning for a flavor-packed, no-mess dinner. It’s a one-pan meal that’s perfect for summer nights, meal planning, or laid-back entertaining with friends."

"Different regions take slightly different approaches in terms of flavors and how a shrimp boil is served. My version is closest in flavor to shrimp boils you might find along the Gulf Coast in states like Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, or the Florida panhandle where they are heavy on the use of spices like Old Bay or Zatarain’s and frequently pair it with citrus like lemon or orange slices for brightness.

In Louisiana, shrimp boils are fiery and bold, with even more spice. You’ll notice at lot more cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic, and bay leaves, along with a bottle of hot sauce on the table.

In South Carolina and Georgia, this dish is often referred to as “Frogmore Stew” or “Lowcountry Boil” and it’s much more mild, focusing the flavors more on the combination of shrimp and smoked sausage."

  Comments from House of Nash Eats


This is my kind of meal with all the shrimp, corn and potatoes!!  I've had this meal before at Red Lobster, which was excellent, but have never made it myself.  Love, love, love!!!

New Orleans-Style Spicy Shrimp UPDATE


Photo source: Taste of Home

 
The name of the recipe and the photo is all I need to know that I'm going to make this soon with my variation.  I've already been thinking about this :)  The recipe calls for shell-on shrimp, but I would use peeled/deveined shrimp with maybe a little more sauce and serve over white rice.  I can taste it now.  

This recipe comes from Taste of Home and the creator has this description of the shrimp:  "This shrimp captures their favorite flavors from the Big Easy, with the right touches of spice and heat."

Crab Rangoon

 


Photo source:  The Spruce Eats

"This beloved appetizer is found on menus at many Asian restaurants, but you can easily recreate them at home. With just a package of wonton wrappers, some crab meat, and cream cheese, you'll be folding up these savory snacks in no time — almost as quickly they'll disappear from the party table."  Comment from The Spruce Eats

Love crab rangoons, but never made them.  That will be changing soon!

Fish Cakes

"Forget about frozen fish sticks. This fish cake recipe can be used to add a fun twist to burger night, and is a kid-friendly way to serve seafood for dinner. Made with tender, flaky whitefish and a handful of pantry staples, the mixture is shaped into patties, lightly coated in bread crumbs and pan-fried until golden and crispy on the outside."  Comment from Taste of Home

My love for seafood has me searching for new seafood recipes since I have lost my recipes.  But strangely enough, I love those frozen fish sticks!

Beer-Battered Fish

 


Photo source:  Southern Living

"The secret to great beer-battered fish is in the batter: It needs to be light, crispy, and slightly airy, and cold. We achieved that perfection with this recipe."  Comment from Southern Living 

It has been years since I've had beer battered fish and I love it.  We used to go to the Arthur Treachers Restaurant all the time and then they closed.  Since then there isn't anywhere that I know of to get it.  I look forward to making my own.

Angel Hair Pasta with Spicy Shrimp




Angel hair pasta is one of my favorite types of pasta.

What I really love . . . it is ready to go from boiling water to plate in 3 or 4 minutes.  When I don't know what I'm hungry for, I start the water boiling with salt and garlic, throw in the Angel Hair Pasta and on the side melt some butter in a little olive oil, add minced garlic.  Drain the pasta, add the butter and garlic mixture and liberally add parmesean cheese.  One of my favorite meals ready within 10 minutes!  Add a salad and some bread and you've got an awesome meal.

But if you want to get a little fancier . . . try Angel Hair Pasta with Spicy Shrimp!  With my version, I saute garlic, green onion, cayenne pepper and dill in a mixture of olive oil and butter, add shrimp and cook for just 4 minutes (or until the shrimp is pink) . . . don't overcook the shrimp!!  Pour over the pasta, add some parmesean cheese . . . mmmm!

Creamy Crab Pasta

This Creamy Crab Pasta looks like some of the expensive pasta dishes I've had at popular restaurants.  The homemade pasta dishes I make at home are just as delicious as those in the restaurants.  If you just want to get out of the kitchen and give yourself a break, go to the restaurant.  But if you just want an awesome pasta dish that you can make yourself for a fraction of the price, try a recipe like this one.

Feast of the Seven Fishes - Shrimp Scampi

 


Photo source: Sip and Feast

"In Italy, it’s called La Vigilia di Natale, but here in the US, it’s known as no other than the Feast of the Seven Fishes. This time-honored tradition of preparing a delectable seafood banquet to commemorate Christ’s birth takes place on Christmas Eve and is heralded by Italian-Americans as one of the most important meals of the calendar year."  Comment from Sip and Feast

My first choice for the seafood banquet would be shrimp scampi.  That is all I would need!  And a fresh loaf of Italian bread and some angel hair pasta.  It is what I will be making for my Christmas Eve feast.

Baked Tilapia

 


Photo Source:  Taste of Home

"Baked tilapia is a great beginner’s seafood recipe, especially for those scared of preparing fish. It cooks quickly and can be easily found in the frozen food section of most U.S. grocery stores, and at just about any fish counter. It’s mild in flavor, inexpensive, and comes in naturally portioned, ready-to-cook fillets." Comment from Taste of Home

Most people probably eat tilapia regularly, cooked the same way.  For myself I get bored and would love to find more ways to cook tilapia.  The recipe being low carb is a plus.
