Fun Seafood Recipes to Try This Month

As we prepare for the end of summer, it’s time to make the most of those warm evenings with good company, great food, and plenty of fun. Although it may be tempting to resort to your tried and true recipes, we want to show you why seafood has become even more popular across the country by exploring nine fun and delicious seafood dishes for you to enjoy.

Yankee Clam Chowder

A quintessential classic, Yankee Clam Chowder or New England Clam Chowder originated in the northeast in New England but has become hugely popular throughout the country. This rich, warm chowder is one of the nation’s most popular seafood dishes. This dish is perfect for enjoying together with your loved ones, friends, and family.

One of the best things about this recipe is the fairly simple preparation, especially when using PanaPesca baby clam meat which already contains natural clam juice, perfect for a delicious dish of Clam Chowder.

All you need to make this classic seafood dish is half-shell oysters, garlic, lemon, and a couple of other seasonings. Just put them in the oven or grill and get ready to enjoy mouthwatering seafood.

3. Seafood Paella

Seafood paella has traveled from its native home in Valencia, Spain, to every corner of the world; and has become fully adopted into the US seafood repertoire. 

This delicious rice dish is always the star of the show and is the perfect dish for large dinner parties or groups. Although generally prepared in a special “paellera” pan, any wide bottom pan will work when cooking up all the ingredients. The great thing about this seafood dish is you can have a little fun with it by adding whatever seafood you like, although we recommend our seafood paella mix.

3. Quick Pasta with Whole Mussels in Shell

Although pasta dishes are generally associated with Europe and Italy, they have conquered the globe thanks to pasta’s versatility. As a result, pasta is one of the most commonly consumed dishes. So mix it with one of our favorite seafood — mussels — and you have a winning combination. 

This quick dish is super simple and delicious. All you need to do is saute your garlic and shallots, add your mussels and white wine and then serve over a plate of fresh pasta. Don’t believe a seafood dish can be that simple? Check out our recipe.

4. Pan-Seared Scallops in Butter Sauce

Scallops are one of the most popular seafoods found on restaurant menus. These delicious mollusks are amazing as a starter or a main, with a range of sides. However, the mouthwatering recipe we have selected is pan-seared scallops in butter sauce. 

This fun seafood recipe requires premium quality scallops, butter, lemon juice, and seasoning, and that is it. It’s simple, just cook up your scallops along with the butter and seasonings using a skillet, and prepare for a true taste sensation.

5. Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp and Scallop Skewers

Here in the US, we love a BBQ, and there are few better options for grilling than a bacon-wrapped shrimp and scallop skewer. The bacon flavors combine perfectly with the fresh seafood, and that classic charcoal hint brings the whole meal together. 

The best thing about these skewers is you can order your shrimp and scallop skewers pre-prepared at PanaPesca USA. That means all you have to do is wrap in bacon and grill to your liking. This is easily one of our favorite fun seafood recipes.

8. Peppered Fried Calamari

As far as guilty pleasures go, fried food is right up there, and there are few recipes as delicious as our peppered fried calamari.

All you need are some premium calamari rings, rings and tentacles or tubes and tentacles, and you can start frying. Find the full peppered fried shrimp recipe on our website.
