A seafood evening ...

It's been a while since I was able to post ... travel will do that to me.  I've been home for a few days now, so I have a bit of content that I can start posting again.  For this dinner, I decided to have some fun with seafood thinking that it would be a healthy option ... then I fried the first half and covered the second half with cheese ... whoops!

For the first course I made a panko fried shellfish dish.  For Shells I went with 16-20 count shrimp and for myself a softshell crab, both panko crusted and fried!


I served both of them over sweet chili sauce and added a roasted hot chili to the plate.


For the main course I broiled a piece of red snapper and topped it with a slice of mozzarella cheese at the last minute.  I served it with an awesome bean and rice mix as well as some sauteed zucchini squash.


Saffron Rice and White Beans
1 package Saffron rice (5 oz)
1 14.5 oz can cannellini beans
6 large spoonfuls petite diced tomatoes (with juice)
1 roasted red pepper (seeded)
1 1/2 cup veggie stock
Salt & Garlic Pepper to taste

Put the beans (with juice), rice and veggie stock in a saute pan over medium high heat.  Stir often while bringing to a boil.  Reduce heat to medium low and add the diced roasted red pepper and the tomatoes. Cook, covered, until all of the liquid has been absorbed into the rice. Add the salt and garlic pepper to taste and enjoy!
