I love shell fish but it’s kind of a luxury for this college budget thing. Luckily Trader Joe’s has affordable frozen bags of good-quality shell fish to satisfy my needs. I threw together this light meal for some of my friends one night after class and it was a nice change from the normal proteins.
- 1 pack frozen shell fish from Trader Joe’s (thawed)
- 2 cloves garlic
- juice of half a lemon
- 1 bunch parsley
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- generous amounts black pepper
- sprinkle of sea salt
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- mince garlic and heat olive oil in a sauce pan
- add garlic to the pan
- once garlic turns opaque, add shell fish
- cook over medium-low heat, add paprika, black pepper and salt
- meanwhile, blend lemon juice, parsley and other tbsp olive oil in a food processor
- take shell fish off heat once they’ve turned white
- you can either stir the parsley-lemon sauce into the seafood mix or serve it on the side
