Carnivore Seafood Medley Recipe

Carnivore Seafood Medley Recipe:

Ingredients:

• For the Seafood Medley:
  • 8 oz shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 8 oz scallops (if large, cut in half)
  • 8 oz white fish fillets (e.g., cod, halibut, or flounder, cut into chunks)
  • 2 tbsp butter (or ghee for a more dairy-free option)
  • 2 tbsp beef tallow (optional, for extra richness)
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced (optional, but adds flavor)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional, for a touch of freshness)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs like parsley or thyme (optional, for garnish)
• For Cooking:
  • 2 tbsp lard, ghee, or tallow (to cook the seafood)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Seafood

1. Clean the seafood: If your shrimp isn’t already peeled and deveined, do so now. Pat the shrimp, scallops, and fish chunks dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture, which helps the seafood sear better.

2. Season the seafood: Lightly season all of the seafood with salt and pepper. You can also add a pinch of smoked paprika for extra flavor (optional). If you’re using garlic, mince it now and set it aside.

Step 2: Cook the Seafood Medley

1. Heat the fat: In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp of your preferred fat (butter, lard, or ghee) over medium-high heat. If you want extra richness, add 1 tbsp of beef tallow as well.

2. Cook the shrimp: Once the fat is hot, add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

3. Cook the scallops: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter or ghee (if needed) and place the scallops in the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, until a golden crust forms and the scallops are opaque in the center. Remove the scallops and set aside.

4. Cook the fish: If you’re using a white fish like cod or flounder, add a bit more fat to the skillet and cook the fish pieces for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through. Be gentle when flipping to avoid breaking the fish apart.

Step 3: Combine and Finish

1. Return all seafood to the skillet: Once all the seafood has been cooked and removed from the skillet, return it all to the pan, combining the shrimp, scallops, and fish. If you’re using garlic, add it now and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

2. Add lemon juice: If you’re using lemon juice for a little extra flavor, add it to the pan and toss everything gently to combine. Let it cook for an additional minute to warm the seafood through.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

1. Plate the seafood: Arrange the cooked seafood medley on a plate or serving dish.

2. Garnish (optional): Sprinkle fresh parsley or thyme over the top for a little color and freshness.
