Creamy Seafood Soup with Scallops and Shrimp

 

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 pound sea scallops

• 1⁄2 pound cod fillet, cut into 1-inch pieces

• 1⁄2 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 1 medium onion, finely chopped

• 2 stalks celery, finely chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

• 1⁄4 cup tomato paste

• 1⁄2 cup dry white wine

• 4 cups seafood stock

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

• Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour into the pot and stir for 1-2 minutes, ensuring the flour is fully incorporated and begins to brown slightly.
Add the tomato paste and stir well, allowing it to combine with the flour and vegetables.
Pour in the white wine, stirring to deglaze the pot. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the wine reduces by half.
Slowly add the seafood stock while stirring continuously to eliminate any lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the scallops, cod, and shrimp to the pot. Cook the seafood for about 5-7 minutes until all pieces are cooked through and opaque.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Add the Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper, adjusting to taste.
Allow the bisque to simmer gently for another 5-10 minutes until slightly thickened and flavors meld.
Ladle the bisque into bowls, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve hot.

Crab Rangoon Bombs

 

Ingredients (Makes 10–12 Bombs):

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup cooked crab meat or imitation crab, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
• 10–12 wonton wrappers
• 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
• Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
• Sweet and sour sauce or dipping sauce of choice (optional)

Instructions:

1️⃣ Prepare the Filling:
In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, chopped crab meat, green onions, soy sauce, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated and creamy.

2️⃣ Assemble the Bombs:
Lay the wonton wrappers flat on a clean surface. Place a spoonful of the crab mixture in the center of each wrapper.
Brush the edges with the beaten egg, then fold each wrapper into a triangle and press firmly to seal. For a “bomb” shape, fold in the corners to form a small pouch or bundle. Make sure all edges are sealed to prevent leaks while frying.

3️⃣ Fry the Bombs:
Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop in a small piece of wonton wrapper—it should sizzle immediately.
Carefully add the Rangoon bombs in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2–3 minutes per side, flipping as needed, until golden brown and crispy.

4️⃣ Drain and Serve:
Transfer the fried bombs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce—sweet and sour, soy sauce, or even spicy mayo for a flavorful finish!

Pan-Fried Cod with Lemon Butter Sauce

 

Ingredients: 

FOR THE COD: 

• 4 cod fillets (about 150-200 grams each) 

• Salt and pepper to taste 

• ½ cup all-purpose flour (for dredging) 

• 2 tablespoons olive oil 

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 

For the Lemon Butter Sauce: 

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 

• 2 cloves garlic, minced 

• Juice of 1 lemon (about 3 tablespoons) 

• Zest of 1 lemon (optional, for extra brightness) 

• ¼ cup chicken or vegetable broth (optional for a thinner sauce) 

• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped 

• Salt and pepper to taste

Direction:

Step 1: Prepare the Cod Fillets 

Start by patting the cod fillets dry with paper towels. This is crucial to ensure a nice sear and prevent excess moisture in the pan. Season both sides of the fillets with salt and pepper. Then, lightly dredge each fillet in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess. The flour helps create a golden crust on the fish. 

Step 2: Pan-Fry the Cod 

Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter melts and starts to sizzle, add the cod fillets to the pan. Cook for 3–4 minutes on the first side, or until the underside is golden and crisp. Carefully flip the fillets and cook for another 2–3 minutes on the other side, depending on the thickness of the fish. The cod is done when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 60°C (140°F). Transfer the cooked fillets to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep them warm. 

Step 3: Make the Lemon Butter Sauce 

In the same pan, reduce the heat to medium and add 3 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant — be careful not to burn the garlic. Pour in the lemon juice and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, as they add rich flavor. For a slightly thinner sauce, add chicken or vegetable broth at this stage and let it simmer for a minute. Finish by stirring in the lemon zest (if using) and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Cherry tomatoes: for a sweet, tangy balance

Chili flakes: to add a gentle kick

Mushrooms: to bring earthiness to the creamy base

Tips for Success

Do not overcook seafood — shrimp and cod cook quickly; remove from heat once opaque and flaky.

Use fresh garlic, not powdered, for the best aroma and flavor depth.

Deglaze the pan with wine or stock to capture all the browned flavor bits.

Simmer gently — avoid boiling the cream sauce to prevent curdling.

Balance with acid — a squeeze of lemon brightens the dish and keeps it from feeling too heavy.

Instructions

Prepare the seafood:

Pat shrimp and cod dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Cook the aromatics:

Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and sauté until soft and fragrant. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

Add liquid base:

Pour in the white wine (or seafood stock) and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Add the cream:

Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook until the sauce begins to thicken slightly (3–4 minutes).

Cook the seafood:

Add cod chunks first and cook for 3–4 minutes. Then add shrimp and cook another 2–3 minutes, until shrimp turn pink and cod flakes easily.

Finish the dish:

Add lemon juice, chopped parsley, and a sprinkle of Parmesan if desired. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

Serve immediately:

Serve hot over rice, pasta, or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.

Succulent Garlic Butter Lobster & Scallops with Herbs

 

Ingredients

For Lobster Tails & Garlic Butter:

20 oz (2) lobster tails

1/2 cup butter

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 heads garlic

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 onion

Fresh parsley for topping

For Scallops & Lemon Orzo:

8 scallops

2 tablespoons garlic butter

1 cup orzo

1 cup seafood stock

1/2 cup white wine

4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

4 tablespoons lemon juice

Salt & pepper to taste

Fresh parsley for topping

Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

Prepare the Garlic and Onion: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cut off about 1/2 inch from the top of each head of garlic to expose the cloves. Remove any loose papery skin.

Drizzle each head with one tablespoon of olive oil and wrap loosely in foil. Place on a baking sheet.

 

Roast the Onion: Cut the onion into wedges, leaving the base intact so that it holds together. Wrap in foil with a drizzle of olive oil and place on the baking sheet with the garlic.

Bake for 40 minutes to an hour, until the garlic cloves are soft and browned, and the onion is translucent and tender.

 

Make the Garlic Butter: Allow the butter to reach room temperature while the garlic and onion are baking.

Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and mash into the softened butter along with salt. Stir until well combined and smooth.

 

Cook the Scallops: Melt two tablespoons of the prepared garlic butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Space the scallops evenly in the pan, ensuring they are not too crowded, and sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the scallops from the pan and set aside.

Cook the Orzo: Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, scraping up the flavorful brown bits.

Allow the wine to reduce slightly before adding the orzo and seafood stock. Bring to a simmer and let the orzo cook for about nine minutes, or until al dente.

 

Prepare the Lobster Tails: While the orzo is cooking, split the top of each lobster shell down the center with scissors and carefully lift the meat out to rest on top of the shell.

Place on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the lobster shells are bright red and the meat is cooked through. Be careful not to overcook to avoid rubbery lobster.

 

Finish the Orzo: Stir in the lemon juice, then mix in the cooked scallops along with Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

Serve: Arrange the lobster tails on a bed of the lemon orzo and scallop mixture. Add the roasted onion alongside. Provide melted garlic butter and lemon wedges for extra flavoring at the table.

Tips for Perfect Garlic Butter Lobster and Scallops

Use Fresh Ingredients

For the best flavor and texture, always opt for fresh lobster tails and scallops. Frozen options can work in a pinch, but make sure they’re fully thawed and patted dry before cooking to avoid excess moisture in the pan. A dry surface ensures a perfect sear and enhances the caramelization of the scallops.

Control the Heat

Cooking seafood is all about precision. Use medium to medium-high heat to sear the scallops until they develop a golden crust without overcooking. Lobster tails should be cooked until their meat turns opaque and tender, taking care not to overcook, as this can result in a rubbery texture. Garlic burns quickly, so add it toward the end to infuse flavor without bitterness.

Crispy Fish Fry

 

Ingredients

500g white fish fillets (cod, haddock, or basa)

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cornstarch

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 tsp salt

1 cup cold soda water (or cold sparkling water)

Oil for deep frying

Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

Begin by preparing the fish. Pat the fillets dry using paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

This step is important to help the batter stick better during frying and to ensure the final texture is light and crispy.

Cut the fish into evenly sized pieces based on your preference. Smaller pieces will cook quicker and are easier to handle when frying, while larger pieces provide a more substantial bite.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Gradually pour in the cold soda water while whisking the mixture. The carbonation from the soda water creates air bubbles.

resulting in a lighter and crispier batter. Keep whisking until you have a smooth, lump-free consistency.

Heat your oil in a deep pan or fryer to 180°C (350°F). Use a thermometer if needed to maintain the correct temperature.

which is crucial for achieving the ideal crispiness without making the fish greasy.

Once the oil is ready, dip each fish fillet into the batter, making sure it’s completely coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off slightly before gently placing the fish into the hot oil.

Fry the fish for about 4 to 5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Turn occasionally for even cooking.

Once done, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve immediately with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and lemon wedges on the side.
