Hello, Seafoodies!
With the Summer Olympics on the horizon, we’re all excited to cheer on our favorite athletes. But the Olympics aren’t just about sports—it’s also a celebration of international cultures. What better way to join the festivities than by exploring flavorful seafood dishes from around the world?
So bring your passport (or just your appetite) and get ready to embark on an international seafood adventure with our latest meal plan.
First stop: Asia! Asian cuisine is known for a colorful and healthy combination of seafood and vibrant veggies. Whether you love shrimp spring rolls or delicate pan-fried scallops with vegetable noodles, Asian seafood dishes are all about freshness and flavor.
Next, we head to Europe for a taste of Spain and Italy. Our Instant Pot risotto is a mix of spice-infused rice, seafood and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. Comforting, healthy and ready in minutes—a true gold medal meal! And while you’re in the area—help yourself to a heaping bowl of steamed mussels in white wine sauce. We always serve this regional classic with a hearty hunk of hearty bread to soak up every last drop of saucy goodness.
Now, it’s time to heat things up with a trip to the Caribbean and Peru. Peruvian ceviche is a refreshing appetizer with shrimp, citrus juices, onions, tomatoes and jalapeños—each bite bursting with a tangy, spicy kick! For a sweet and savory twist, try a platter of Caribbean shrimp with tropical fruit. Juicy shrimp, vibrant fruits and a jerk seasoning kick capture the sunny flavors of the Caribbean—no sunscreen required.
Finally, let’s “shell-ebrate” our last stop with some crab in the United States. Enjoy a delicious crab cake dinner that’s low-calorie and gluten-free. Don’t forget to save some leftover crab for a next-day avocado benny brunch to wrap up this cultural culinary tour with a smile.
Have fun exploring these diverse and delicious international seafood recipes!
