Hey, Seafoodies!
We hope you’re enjoying National Pescatarian Month as much as we are! Today we want to talk about two appliances that make it even easier for you to #GoPescatarian. Regular readers of this blog know how quickly seafood cooks: Just a few minutes of oven or grill time, and you’re done! So, you might ask, what could be more convenient than that? How about a one-pot, countertop meal! Preparing seafood in an air fryer or Instant Pot lets you give your stove the night off — and your grill, too — while speeding up the cooking time. But don’t take our word for it, Seafoodies: Try it for yourselves! We’ve rounded up some of our favorite seafood recipes for the air fryer and Instant Pot. They’re all quick to prepare, easy to clean up and a joy to eat!
The Instant Pot is an all-in-one pressure cooker that lets you sauté as well as simmer. You can even use it to cook frozen food, making prep a breeze! The air fryer is a mini convection oven that “fries” with hot air rather than tons of fat — all you need is a spritz of healthy olive oil. Both of these handy appliances are game-changers! In addition to their ease and speed, they provide a self-contained cooking environment, so your kitchen stays cool and fresh-smelling.
Imagine the possibilities when you’re cooking the stove-free way: Twenty-minute risotto brimming with plump shrimp and scallops. Comforting, one-pot wonders like rich lobster bisque and hearty salmon soup with spinach and tortellini. Good-for-you, “fried” calamari and coconut shrimp. Lemony salmon fillets and spicy cod with a crispy crust. These recipes not only answer the question of what’s for dinner, they’ll have your cleanup crew doing high-fives!
We can’t get enough of this creamy risotto! Creamy and aromatic, it’s topped with plump shrimp and golden-brown scallops.
