Most people realize that seafood offers numerous health benefits—so much so that the government recommends eating at least two servings a week. Seafood is excellent for cardiovascular health, and everything from fish to shrimp can make a delicious meal when paired with other foods. Consider these pairings the next time you have seafood to enjoy.

5 Delicious Seafood Meal Combinations

1. Shrimp & Roasted Potatoes

Garlic and Parmesan roasted red potatoes make a tasty and healthy complement to grilled shrimp. Toss potatoes, garlic, oregano, basil, pepper, and Parmesan cheese in a bowl until the potatoes are properly coated, bake them for 45 minutes, and grill your shrimp. This will provide you with a healthy serving of vitamin C, vitamin B-6, and potassium.

2. Snapper & Steamed Veggies

Using a mixture of fresh broccoli, carrots, peppers, and asparagus, steam them in water for several minutes. Add some herbs, such as rosemary or garlic salt, and eat it with your grilled or baked snapper. 

3. Oysters & Greens

Whether you’re making an oyster boil, steaming them, or serving them raw, oysters go well with greens. The slightly bitter taste of greens pair well with oyster’s sweetness, and collard, turnip, or mustard greens will add texture and color to your plate. 

4. Crab Meat & Salad

Whether you pile your crab on top of a salad or serve it separate, this pairing can elevate both dishes. Instead of dressing, apply cocktail sauce for additional flavor. This meal will be loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

5. Mahi Tacos

Fish tacos are not only popular and easy to make, but they are full of flavor and healthy, too. Use a tortilla shell, add grilled Mahi, and top with lettuce, tomatoes, and peach salsa.
