Seafood

Nothing new here. Memo: get some damn lemons for next time. Seriously, me.

Seafood craving - satisfied

Spaghetti, seafood medley, calamari, grape tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and of course cheese.

Seafood medley pasta

This restaurant we go to has "snow peas chicken pasta" and I wanted to recreate a (healthier) version at home. So I did. 

I used diced tomatoes with Italian seasoning as my only sauce. The pasta was my remaining "dried tomato" spaghetti (tastes really good and unique). Cut up chicken breast mixed with scallops and shrimp. The peas added a really nice touch. I added a lot more shrimp and peas than you see in a restaurant, and a lot less oil and cream (ie none of either).


Only the most amazing dinner ever

This was so, so, so delicious. And of course I can't remember why. I don't think this is a unique meal I've made (I'm obviously a fan of salmon), but this was just stellar. 

I think it was because I added the scallops to the mushrooms. And used a generous amount of cheese in the beans. Because, you know, cheese. 

The red stuff is smoked paprika, my most favourite spice ever. The sauce was made from smoked salmon cream cheese. My most favourite cream cheese ever.

Seafood style

I had smoked salmon and wanted to make dinner that would go well with it. When searching "smoked salmon food pairings", the internet only shows wine or crackers. So I made my own "recipe".

Spaghetti
Shrimp
Cut up pieces of smoked salmon
Cut up imitation crab leg
Leafy veggies
Grape tomatoes
Smoked salmon cream cheese

And on the side, more imitation crab leg and smoked salmon.

Seafood noodles

Delicious healthy seafood

So you can probably tell that I'm just using up my backlog of photos. Since losing the program and my photos within, I've just been taking photos of the food and leaving them on my phone.

Here's my most favourite meal ever, except for maybe every other dinner I make that takes some actual effort (ie Lipton soup doesn't count).

You take frozen seafood (whatever you like. I found that Asian markets carry the best and cheapest selection). "Seafood medley". Some medleys contain tentacled creatures, so if you don't like them, pay attention. Usually it's shrimp, mussels, clams, squid, cuttlefish. The mixes are cheaper.

Then, if in the middle of Canadian winter, you buy frozen vegs. If not, fresh vegs. And those green beans whose name I can never remember. Zucchinis and peppers work (you may have noticed a trend in my vegs here).

You put it all in a pan on medium heat (the frozen stuff will melt and give you lots of water, so I don't use oil). Cover and ignore.

Then add either tomato sauce of your liking, or hoisin/soy sauce, or teriyaki sauce, or any other sauce you want.

Done.

If you need more carbs, make some spaghetti or rice. Seafood cooks extremely fast (basically, the moment the centre is hot, it's done) and then gets chewy, so you gotta be vigilant.

That massive wok-pan was two large bags of medley, one large bag of beans, and 2 large zucchinis. It took about half an hour on medium heat.
