Happy #SeafoodSunday, Seafoodies!
When it comes to Sunday/Funday we want to eat well and still have time for everything else. This is where one-pan seafood meals can save the day. Not only do they have that “Sunday Supper” vibe, they are also simple to prepare and clean up is a breeze. Well, check out these 15 stovetop, sheet pan and Instant Pot seafood recipes that make dinnertime a snap. Varied as these dishes are, they all can all be summed up in two words: low maintenance!
Cooking everything in one pan unleashes a special kind of culinary magic—transforming pantry staples, melding flavors and adding a creamy complexity to dishes without excess fat. Making seafood the centerpiece of your one-pan meals guarantees you’ll have a tasty and nutritious dinner on the table!

If you’re working toward the two to three servings of seafood a week recommended by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the hardest thing will be narrowing down which of these one-pan recipes to try first!
Our suggestions? We were bowled over by the 30-Minute Seafood Stew, a tomatoey broth brimming with shellfish, fish and fennel. Or, how about Crab Risotto with Mascarpone and Peas, a delicate, creamy dish that’s ready in about a half hour? And Instant Pot-loving Seafoodies, you’ve got to try our own Instant Pot Shrimp and Grits. This lightened-up classic is chock-full of tender shrimp in an aromatic gravy, for a whole lotta Low Country yum!
These soups, stews and bakes are hearty enough to be enjoyed on chilly March nights, but they’re so effortless that you’ll want to incorporate them into your meal plan all year. Enjoy!
