If you’re looking for an elegant dinner starter or easy holiday appetizers, this is both luxurious and simple. Seafood Pan Roast is a perfect for a special occasion. Shrimp, lobster, scallops, and oysters are oven broiled and proves that a dish can be fancy and easy.
This elegant plate of seafood is one of our favorite things to prepare for a special dinner. Simple and delicious this is our Valentines Day tradition. 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 easy holiday appetizers, this is a must try.
