Seafood Pan Roast Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Cut the potatoes, without peeling, into thick slices and each slice into quarters. Put them into a large roasting pan with the whole garlic cloves.
• Quarter the onions, peel them (I find it easier to do it this way around), then halve each quarter horizontally. Quarter the lemon and cut each quarter into 1/2-inch pieces. Add the onion and lemon to the pan with the potatoes and garlic.
• Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the oil and roast for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, soak the clams in a bowl of water - if any are smashed or don't close after they've soaked, throw them away. Slice the squid into rings.
• After 1 hour, take the pan out of the oven and put it over low heat on the stove top so that the pan doesn't cool while you add the seafood.
• Arrange the drained closed clams, baby squid rings, and whole raw shrimp over the potatoes, garlic, lemon pieces, and onions.
• Splash the seafood with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and the vermouth, then season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Put the roasting pan back in the oven for 15 minutes, by which time the clams should have opened and the shrimp have turned pink. Discard any clams that have not opened.
• Scatter with parsley and serve straight from the pan: it couldn't look more beautiful.
• Make Ahead Note: Potatoes can be prepared 1 day ahead. Submerge in a bowl of water and store in the refrigerator. Drain and pat dry before using. Onions and lemons can be cut 1 day ahead and stored in bowls tightly covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• In a saute pan melt 4 oz. of the butter over medium heat.
• Add white wine, paprika, celery seed, clam juice, lemon juice, worcestershire, tabasco, cocktail sauce and salt & pepper.
• If using clams or mussels add them now and cook until they open.
• Add shrimp, scallops, lobster and/or crab meat and bring to a full boil.
• Add heavy whipping cream and boil for 1 minute.
• Add last 4 oz. of butter.
• Garnish with chives.

Steps:

• In large pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add salt, white pepper, celery seed, paprika, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Tobasco, white wine, cocktail sauce and clam juice.
• Add seafood, stir and bring to a full boil. Add half-and-half and return contents of pan to boil.
• Place butter in bottom of deep bowl, pour in pan roast, sprinkle with paprika and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Use a large knife to hasselback the potatoes; cut incisions in each potato making sure you don't cut through to the base, and keep the cuts as close together as possible. Toss the potatoes in oil and some seasoning in your largest roasting tin (an oven tray is ideal - line with parchment first if it's old). Roast for 20 mins.
• Butterfly the prawns by cutting a line down the back of each one, through the shell from the base of the head to the top of the tail. Pull out the black line of intestine from each one. Clean the mussels under cold water, pulling off any hairy or stringy bits. Hasselback the squid in the same way you did the potatoes.
• Cut each corn cob into four pieces - the easiest way to do this is by positioning your knife, covering it with a tea towel and hitting it with a rolling pin. Add the corn to the tray, toss in the oil and return to the oven for 5 mins.
• Mash together the butter, parsley, paprika, garlic and lemon zest. Stuff some of the butter into the back of each prawn and inside the squids. Turn the oven up to 220C/200C fan/gas 6. Add the seafood, lemon wedges and chorizo to the pan and toss everything together. Dot the remaining butter over the top, season well and return to the oven for 10 mins. If any of the prawns haven't turned pink or any mussels haven't opened, move them around the pan to the hot spots, then return to the oven for another 2-3 mins. Remove and discard any mussels which haven't opened. Scatter some parsley over and serve.

Steps:

• Remove grit from clams by soaking in salt water for 20 minutes. Repeat this step twice. Scrub shells clean.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat with garlic, Cajun seasoning, seafood seasoning, and cayenne until garlic is fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Place clams, shrimp, crab, and lobster on a sheet pan. Add sausage and corn. Pour seasoned butter over and mix to ensure all is covered.
• Bake in the preheated oven until shrimp just turns opaque, clams open, and sausage is browned, 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven or large heavy pot, heat half of the butter over medium-high heat. Add the flour, reduce the heat to medium, and cook, stirring constantly with a large wooden spoon, to make a thick roux almost the color of milk chocolate, 15 to 20 minutes. Add the onions and celery seed, cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the garlic and bay leaves, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Place the tomato paste in a small bowl and whisk in the sherry to blend. Add to the pot, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the stock, and whisk to blend. Add the tomatoes and their juices, the sugar, salt, black pepper, and red pepper, and cook, stirring, occasionally, for 20 to 25 minutes. Add 2 cups of the court-bouillon and bring to a simmer. Season the shrimp, crab meat, and oysters with Creole Seasoning. Add the shrimp and cook for 3 minutes. Add the oysters and cook until the oysters curl, 1 to 2 minutes. Add heavy whipping cream and boil for 1 minute. Add last 4 oz. of butter. Divide equally between 2 large soup bowls, and repeat with the remaining ingredients in 2 batches. Spoon 1/2 cup of rice into the center of each bowl and serve immediately. Creole Seasoning: 2 1/2 tablespoons paprika 2 tablespoons salt 2 tablespoons garlic powder 1 tablespoon black pepper 1 tablespoon onion powder 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper 1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano 1 tablespoon dried thyme Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container. Yield: about 2/3 cup
