Healthy Seafood - How Do You Like Yours?

>> July 31, 2008

We just returned from a 10-day trip to the gulf area of Florida. One of the things we love the most about going to this area is the fresh seafood! Seafood is loaded with essential oils that our bodies don't make on their own but we need. According to some studies, eating a small amount of seafood daily can cut the risk of death due to heart disease by nearly 20%! On our trip we caught Redfish and Spanish Mackeral (and sharks, which we threw back) and one of the boys in our group went scalloping and bought back a bag of fresh, unshucked scallops. The Redfish was my favorite but I didn't try the scallops since they ate them raw and I wasn't about to do that. We also purchased fresh shrimp, although it's not peak season for it, they were still wonderful! My hubby steamed his and had them with cocktail sauce while I made mine into a scampi, of sorts. I just minced fresh garlic, and sauteed it in butter. Then I added some white wine and the fresh shrimp. After just a few minutes (don't over-cook your shrimp!) add grated Parmesan cheese, cracked black pepper and a dash of Old Bay Seafood Seasoning. Serve with a salad and some whole grain bread and you've got a tasty, but fairly healthful meal. Now, although I thought it was quite tasty, I think for it to be a contender for The Great American Seafood Cook Off it will need some tweaking, any suggestions? If you're not familiar with the Great American Seafood Cook Off, it is one of America’s most prestigious culinary competitions and it not only showcases the chef's art, but it promotes the value of domestic seafood, and the simplicity of cooking seafood at home. Only domestic seafood is used because it is not only easily sustainable, the freshness of local seafood makes the dishes delectable. It's held Aug 2-3 at the New Orleans Memorial Convention Center and tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the door. If you get to go, let me know about it! I'd also love some more great, healthy, EASY, seafood recipes! If you have one, be sure to share!
