Seafood Sunday

So....thinking about seafood when I went shopping for dinner, I always tell my kids.."start with the protein and go backwards....with the protein being the foundation of the meal, it is easier to marry other dishes with your initial concept...anyhow....You can always find a bargain while making a great meal. I found some Cod that was 1/2 price as well as some large shrimp that too was 1/2 price. You gotta use it right away, especially with seafood. (take your trash out that night with any residual seafood you might put in there) So...here we go...I decided to make a crab/shrimp imperial that I stuffed in the Cod...I saved 9 Shrimp...Broiled them and made that as a topping/garnish for the Cod...I thought of a Hollandaise (pain in the ass to make) but thought that would overwhelm the taste of the seafood. OK....remember the Basmati rice that I had from last night?? well....I had some leftover and added pearl onions and peas to it and put baby asparagus on the other side of the meal (love me some asparagus. I didn't want to get to fancy as you can "overdo" a dish and take away the natural flavors...as they say.."sometimes, less is more" I didn't ask for a rating on this dish as I think the kids are getting wise to my reactions to their ratings (I really have to learn that they all won't be a 10 in their eyes) Anyhow.....Stuffed Cod instead of something like a Flounder was yummy and easy. Cod is a very easy fish to marry a lot of ingredients with...not too expensive either...especially when it is half price. Gonna try to figure out how to put pics of these dishes on this blog as well....till next time......
