7 Seafood Medley With Shrimp, Scallops and Herbs Christmas Dinner Main Courses

As I plan my Christmas dinner, I’m drawn to the idea of a 7 seafood medley that showcases shrimp, scallops, and fresh herbs. It’s a festive way to bring seasonal flavors to the table. I can almost taste the garlic butter shrimp over herb risotto or the zesty grilled seafood skewers. Each dish has its own charm, and I’m excited to explore how they all come together for a memorable holiday feast.

Shrimp and Scallop Newburg With Fresh Dill

Shrimp and Scallop Newburg is a creamy and luxurious seafood dish that’s perfect for a festive Christmas dinner. Combining the delicate flavors of shrimp and scallops with a rich sauce and aromatic dill, this dish will impress your guests while providing a hearty yet elegant dining option. Served over a bed of buttery toast points or with a side of rice, it’s a wonderful main course that captures the essence of the holiday season.

Cooking Instructions:

1. Prepare the Shellfish: Rinse the shrimp and scallops under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This will help achieve a nice sear when cooking.
2. Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Cook Seafood: Add the shrimp and scallops to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and the scallops are opaque. Remove the shellfish from the skillet and set aside.
4. Make the Roux: In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Whisk in the flour to form a roux, cooking for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden. This will help thicken the sauce.
5. Add Broth and Sherry: Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and sherry, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the mixture is thickened.
6. Incorporate Cream and Egg Yolks: Reduce the heat to low. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and heavy cream together. Slowly whisk this mixture into the sauce in the skillet, stirring continuously to avoid curdling.
7. Combine and Season: Return the cooked shrimp and scallops to the skillet. Stir in the chopped dill, salt, and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
8. Serve: Ladle the Shrimp and Scallop Newburg into serving bowls. If desired, serve over buttered toast points or with a side of rice to soak up the delicious sauce. Garnish with additional fresh dill if desired.

Enjoy this rich and delectable seafood dish as a stunning centerpiece for your Christmas dinner table!

Garlic Butter Shrimp and Scallops Over Herb Risotto

Garlic Butter Shrimp and Scallops Over Herb Risotto is a delightful and luxurious dish that beautifully combines the rich and savory flavors of succulent shrimp and scallops with creamy, flavorful risotto. This dish is perfect for a special occasion like Christmas dinner or a festive family gathering, providing a wonderful combination of textures and tastes that will impress your guests.

Cooking Instructions:

1. Prepare the Broth: In a saucepan, heat the chicken broth over medium heat until simmering. Keep it warm on low heat throughout the cooking process.
2. Cook the Risotto: In a large skillet or saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the Arborio rice, cooking for about 1-2 minutes until the grains are lightly toasted.
3. Add Wine: Pour in the dry white wine and stir continuously until it has completely absorbed into the rice.
4. Incorporate Broth: Begin adding the warm chicken broth, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly. Allow the rice to absorb the broth before adding more. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and al dente, which should take about 20-25 minutes.
5. Finish the Risotto: Once the rice is cooked to your liking, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley. Remove from heat and cover the pot to keep warm.
6. Cook the Seafood: In a separate skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
7. Add Shrimp and Scallops: Carefully add the shrimp and scallops to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring gently, until the shrimp are pink and opaque, and the scallops are golden and cooked through.
8. Serve the Dish: Spoon the creamy herb risotto onto plates and top with the garlic butter shrimp and scallops. Garnish with additional parsley and lemon wedges, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the festive flavors!

Lemon Herb Grilled Seafood Skewers

Lemon Herb Grilled Seafood Skewers are a fresh and vibrant dish that showcases the delightful flavors of marinated shrimp and scallops, grilled to perfection. This dish is perfect for a festive Christmas dinner as it not only brings a beautiful presentation to the table but also offers a light and zesty flavor that complements richer holiday fare.

Cooking Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, chopped parsley, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine the ingredients into a marinade.
2. Marinate the Seafood: Add the peeled shrimp and scallops to the bowl with the marinade. Toss gently to make sure all the seafood is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to penetrate the seafood.
3. Preheat the Grill: While the seafood is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you are using wooden skewers, ensure they have been soaked in water for at least 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning.
4. Assemble the Skewers: After marinating, take the seafood out of the refrigerator. Thread the shrimp and scallops onto the skewers, alternating between the two for a visually pleasing presentation. Leave a little space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
5. Grill the Skewers: Place the prepared skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the seafood is opaque and cooked through, being careful not to overcook, as seafood can become rubbery if left on the heat for too long.
6. Serve: Once the seafood is cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a minute. Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh parsley and lemon wedges for squeezing over the top, if desired.

Enjoy your delicious Lemon Herb Grilled Seafood Skewers as a fresh and flavorful centerpiece for your Christmas dinner!

Herb-Crusted Shrimp and Scallops With Roasted Vegetables

Herb-Crusted Shrimp and Scallops with Roasted Vegetables is a stunning and flavorful dish that captures the essence of seafood with a delightful herb coating. This dish features succulent shrimp and scallops coated in a mixture of fresh herbs and breadcrumbs, paired with a medley of roasted seasonal vegetables. It’s perfect for a festive Christmas dinner or any special occasion.

Cooking Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your roasting vegetables and seafood will cook evenly.
2. Prepare the Vegetables: In a large bowl, toss the chopped vegetables with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper until thoroughly coated. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet.
3. Roast the Vegetables: Place the baking sheet with the vegetables in the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and lightly browned, stirring halfway through to promote even cooking.
4. Prepare the Herb Mixture: While the vegetables are roasting, in a separate bowl, combine the chopped fresh herbs, garlic powder, and bread crumbs. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, mixing until the herbs and breadcrumbs are well combined and slightly moistened.
5. Coat the Seafood: Pat the shrimp and scallops dry with paper towels. Season them with salt and pepper. Next, press the herb and breadcrumb mixture onto the top of each scallop and shrimp, ensuring an even coating.
6. Add Seafood to the Oven: Once the vegetables have been roasting for about 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Place the coated shrimp and scallops on the same baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space so they don’t steam.
7. Finish Roasting: Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast everything for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the seafood is opaque and cooked through, and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
8. Serve: After all ingredients are cooked, remove them from the oven. Serve the herb-crusted shrimp and scallops alongside the roasted vegetables, and enjoy this flavorful and festive dish perfect for any dinner gathering!
