Recipes
I recently told you what were the best kinds of seafood to eat. Now I need to help you out with some good recipes for seafood. First, we need to take a little bit of fear out of cooking. Over the years Seafood has been notorious for being one of those food groups that people often look at it as being intimidating. Several things may factor into this the Rarity of seafood being seasonal the price of the seafood and if you live in a landlocked state you simply may not see that much seafood or variety. So rule number 1 it's supposed to look that way if family members and guests are not helping you prepare your meal that should be your standard line. If you're like me many times you will ask your Chef or host to share the recipe with you many of them will, however, they practice this for a number of years they may have perfected their technique and have a very good-looking presentation. That being said every time you prepare a recipe think of it as practice for the next time. The majority of most seafood can be prepared in under an hour the worst thing that any cook can do is to overcook their Seafood. So I'm going to give you some simple Surefire recipes and we're going to keep it simple. Not to overwhelm you let's start with these two recipes. I would suggest practicing them a couple of times and getting your feel for them if you are going to entertain or make them for a dinner party. Please keep in mind that's a very first time you attempted to ride a bicycle you probably use training wheels so let's use the training wheels and get started.
