    This elegant plate of seafood is one of our favorite things to prepare for a special dinner. Simple and delicious this seafood pan roast is our Valentines Day tradition.  

    It’s got everything you’re looking for in a special dinner. Shrimp, lobster, oysters and sea scallops. All drizzled with a very special creme fraiche vinaigrette.

    This beautiful plate of shell fish can be enjoyed as a light dinner or a starter course for a steak dinner. 

    The vinaigrette with creme fraiche, shallot and lemon is a perfect topping to drizzle.

    This has been our Valentines Day Appetizer, and some years, complete meal, and I’ve also prepared this for the Holidays. It’s a perfect Christmas or New Year’s eve appetizer.

    The seafood alone is a very special treat. Oven roasted, so it’s an easy fix. But the creme fraiche dipping sauce is absolutely incredible. Creme fraiche, shallots, lemon juice and chopped fennel fronds = luxurious.

    So if you’re looking for an elegant meal, this seafood pan roast is a must try.
