If you’re crazy about seafood but you just can’t get enough beef, pork, and chicken, you’re probably a huge fan of surf and turf combos. While a grilled sirloin steak and steamed shrimp platter is one of the more familiar plates that incorporates land and sea, Lolo’s Seafood Shack in New York City urges you to step outside of your comfort zone to discover what else is out there.

Here are a few popular surf and turf dishes you should try at home or the next time you dine at a seafood restaurant:

• Crab Cake Burgers: For a fun spin on an American favorite, pick up some fresh crab cakes from your local seafood market, along with some premium ground chuck from your butcher. Fry your crab cakes and burgers in a skillet, then sandwich the two patties between two buns and top it with cocktail and tarter sauce.
• Cajun Pasta: One of the great things about food from Louisiana is that it almost always takes a surf and turf approach. Choose the noodle of your choice, then make a lemon and white wine sauce with chicken. Toss peeled shrimp into the mix and you’ve got yourself a Cajun feast.
• Pork & Shrimp Kebabs: You’ve heard of steak and shrimp, but this recipe calls for a whole new approach. Purchase a pack of skewers and fire up the grill. Then, put the shrimp and chunks of pork on the sticks and roast on an open flame until cooked all the way through. These can be served with barbecue and cocktail sauces.

Serving up a surf and turf dinner is a great way to shake up your nightly meal and experiment with new flavors. To find out what kind of dishes at Lolo’s Seafood Shack utilize the best ingredients from the land and sea, call (646) 649-3356 or visit their website today.
