Ingredients
Gather these ingredients, and let’s create a dish that’s both simple and full of flavor. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 pound of mixed seafood (shrimp, scallops, mussels)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 cup white wine (or chicken broth for a non-alcoholic version)
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a bit of heat)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup cooked rice or pasta (for serving)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Follow these steps to bring the Garlic Butter Seafood Bowl to life:
- Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mixed seafood and cook until just opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the butter and allow it to melt. Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Allow it to cook for about 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.
- Stir in the lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the seafood to the skillet, tossing it in the sauce to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to ensure everything is warmed through.
- Finish by sprinkling the fresh parsley over the top, adding a pop of color and freshness.
- Serve over a bed of cooked rice or pasta, allowing the sauce to soak into the grains or noodles, enhancing the dish’s deliciousness.
