Meal kit subscriptions provide a fun way to explore new recipes and expand upon your cooking skills. While most meal kits have a wide range of options for those who don't have dietary restrictions, few offer a decent selection for those who happen to be on a specific diet or are avoiding certain ingredients. We've noticed that for pescatarians this issue comes up a lot.
Sure, most meal subscriptions do offer occasional pescatarian-friendly recipes every now and then, but is there a service that actually caters to pescatarians? Yes - meet HelloFresh! HelloFresh goes above and beyond to ensure subscribers of all dieting backgrounds have a great selection of meals to enjoy each and every week. Here, we'll take a look at 3 of the most popular pescatarian-friendly meals offered by HelloFresh.
3 HelloFresh Recipes that Any Pescatarian Would Love
1. Toasted Coconut Tempura Shrimp
Who doesn't love sweet and savory? With Toasted Coconut Tempura Shrimp you get both enhanced with a tropical flare. This recipe first requires you to prepare jasmine rice as the base while creating a tropical slaw on the side made up of cilantro, lime, pineapple, cabbage, mayo, cashews, and a dash of sugar. Then, you'll combine shrimp with tempura mix and toasted coconut and cook the battered shrimp for just a few minutes until golden brown. To finish off this delectable meal you'll fluff the rice, add in the tempura shrimp, and then drizzle it all with apricot jam and just a bit of Sriracha.
2. Shrimp & Scallop Scampi
If Italian is more your thing, then this Shrimp Scallop Scampi is sure to please. First, you'll cook up the shrimp and scallops with some lemon zest, garlic, oil, and chili flakes all while cooking the spaghetti al dente. Then, you'll lightly brown some garlic and simmer it with stock concentrates and water to create a light sauce. Once the mixture has settled, throw in the drained spaghetti, shrimp, and scallops along with garlic herb butter, parsley, and parmesan. The only thing left to do is squeeze in a bit of lemon juice and top off the dish with extra parmesan and chili flakes.
3. Pan-Seared Scallops & Lemon Butter Sauce
Maybe you're on a pescatarian diet to help cut back on calories. If so, this is the dish for you. Each serving of Pan-Seared Scallops & Lemon Butter Sauce is only 480 calories - but don't worry, it sure doesn't taste like it. You'll start off this recipe by boiling potatoes and garlic until tender, drain them, and then mash them with crème fraîche and butter until smooth. Next, you'll drizzle asparagus spears with a little olive oil and bake them for 10-12 minutes. While the asparagus is baking, you'll brown the scallops in olive oil for roughly 5 minutes and season them with paprika, salt, and pepper.
Once the scallops have finished cooking, you'll use the same pan to make a sauce consisting of garlic, lemon zest, stock concentrate, butter, and chives. To finish off this meal, plate your dish with the baked asparagus, mashed potatoes, and scallops, and top the scallops off with the sauce you just made.
