This year my pescatarian daughter and also son’s girlfriend will be visiting at Christmas. Can’t wait to see them, but I’m having trouble coming up with something a little “fancy” for Christmas dinner. My daughter recently discovered that she’s allergic to crustaceans, so no shrimp, lobster, or crab anymore. I believe she can have scallops but I haven’t had much luck with preparing them in the past. What should I look for if I can find any fresh? They will likely have been frozen at some point.
Also thinking of eggplant parmigiana. I make it old school and it takes me several hours to get in in the oven. It’s pretty darn good though. Maybe I can make it partly ahead and just pull it out of the fridge or freezer to warm up.
Appreciate any ideas or suggestions others might have.
Hi FamiliarFace! I have a “Pesky” tarian as well so I sympathize. You are sort of very limited because some of the recipes I have that are more “fancy” have crab, shrimp etc... Find out if she can have the “fake” crab or lobster and perhaps that can be substituted in a recipe like “Seven Sacrament soup” etc? Or, I have a very good recipe for vegetable lasagna that mimics the old recipe from Stouffer’s. If she is anything like my Pesky daughter.. she will be happy with anything that she can put on her plate. Hugs, Mom
