Pescatarian Recipes?

DylanKlokner

Anyone know any good Pescatarian recipes? I'm new to the whole No meat but fish thing, Being raised in the south we eat a lot of meat. So any good fish, shrimp, or crap recipes would be great. <3333

Many meals that usually contain poultry or meat can be subbed for shrimp. Think of your favorites and just use shrimp instead! I love having any kind of seafood for dinner, since it usually cooks really quickly.

One of my personal favorites is sesame encrusted tuna. Roll the tuna in the sesame seeds, pan fry for about 30 seconds on each side. Enjoy! Warning, you do need very high quality tuna, preferable sashimi grade.

That was a short thread. I'd like some ideas too if anyone still has any. Thanks.

google Bobby Flay's soy-ginger-mustard-brown-sugar salmon glaze- it'll show up on the Food Network website. it is to DIE for, and so easy to make.

I'm a crazy grad student so healthy eating has to be convenient or it won't happen - Trader Joe's is an awesome place to find great frozen seafood options for a super quick dinner! I love their salmon or mahi mahi burgers, especially on top of a salad or with a side of roasted veggies. Their soy-ginger marinated cod is also amazing! (it's raw fillets, just frozen in the marinade).

I loove making veg or pescetarian mexican food. Try fish tacos, or a shrimp+avocado quesadilla! Sometimes i even make a plate of healthy nachos for dinner using beans or morningstar farms' griller crumbles (cook them briefly in a skillet with taco seasoning and a splash of water - tastes just like taco meat). nachos for dinner = a diet I can definitely stick to! I use 1 serving of scoops chips so I can really fill up each chip with protein
