Quick Mixed Seafood Snack in Cream Sauce

I got up had a few eggs for breakfast, went for a mid-morning run, had a delicious post run shake, and a few minutes later was still starving.  The peanut gallery suggested I make something quick and random for a snack and the blog.  I grabbed a bag of Trader Joe's seafood blend I had recently picked up but wasn't sure what I was going to do with.

This ended up being a pretty tasty snack, although I think the recipe could be refined a lot.  If nothing else this will give you an idea of non-traditional snacks you can whip up quickly when you need a solid Paleo option.

  • PREP5 mins
  • Cook
    5 mins
  • READY IN10 mins
Ingredients:
  • 1/2 bag of Trader Joe's seafood blend
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup pastured cream
  • 1 tbsp homemade butter
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • A pinch of curry powder
  • A pinch of lemon zest
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
Note: all these measurements are approximate since this was truly on the fly.

Directions:
  1. Thaw the seafood in cold water for a few minutes
  2. Saute the minced garlic in the coconut oil, butter, thyme, cayenne, salt, and pepper until garlic is browning
  3. Add the seafood and cook for about a minute
  4. Add the cream, coconut flour, and lemon zest, mix thoroughly and simmer for 5 minutes
  5. Pour into a bowl, top with a pinch of curry powder, and tear it up.
The coconut flour made it a little grainy. I might try and find another way to thicken the sauce in the future. All in all it wasn't to shabby.

Enjoy!
Chuck
