Editorial Notes
The ingredient tips, suggestions, variations, facts, questions and answers below are not edits to the original author's recipe. They are not meant to imply any change would improve the recipe. They're offered for convenience, alternative ideas, and points of interest. If you have any comments about them, please post in the Help & Ideas forum.
- When selecting shrimp, look for those that are firm and have a mild smell.
- Look for scallops that are plump and have a mild smell.
- Substitute the shrimp for calamari for a more tender texture. Calamari is a great choice for this recipe as it cooks quickly and is a great source of protein. The benefit of this substitution is that it will provide a different texture to the dish, making it more enjoyable.
- Substitute the white wine for vegetable broth for a more health conscious option. Vegetable broth is a great way to add flavor without the added calories of alcohol. The benefit of this substitution is that it will reduce the calories of the dish while still providing a delicious flavor.
Seafood In Pesto Cream Sauce Substitute 2 tablespoons of pesto for the lemon juice, and add 1 tablespoon of freshly grated Parmesan cheese to the cream sauce. Serve with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and chopped basil.
Lemon Rice Pilaf: A light and flavorful rice pilaf with a hint of lemon that pairs perfectly with the seafood in lemon cream sauce. The lemon adds a bright, fresh flavor that complements the cream sauce, and the rice provides a nice contrast in texture.
Garlic Roasted Asparagus: Roasted asparagus tossed in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for a flavorful side dish. The garlic and herbs provide a savory flavor that complements the lemon cream sauce, while the asparagus adds a nice crunchy texture. This dish is a great way to add some extra vegetables to the meal.
