- 1. Seafood Recipes to Prepare on Holidays The Christmas Celebration is not complete without the delicious and extravagant food that are being prepared. However, some guests are sensitive to red meat such as pork or beef. An answer to this complicated problem is to make seafood dishes that are healthy and pleasant at the same time. Here are some of the best suggested seafood recipes to cook for the jolly season. Grilled Shrimp in Sweet Marinade This is a very simple and easy marinade that makes your shrimp the best in town, even without sauce. Ingredients: 3 cloves of minced garlic, 1/3 cup olive oil, ¼ cup tomato sauce, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, 2 pounds peeled fresh shrimp Instructions: Mix the garlic, olive oil, and tomato sauce. Season with salt and pepper, you may add basil if you wish to do so. Add the shrimp to the bowl and stir with the mix until all the pieces are coated evenly. Once done, place the prepared marinade in the refrigerator for half an hour to an hour. Remember to stir once or twice in between to avoid the shrimp from sticking together. When the marinade is ready, grill your shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until the shrimp’s color become opaque. Add in the thrill by placing your shrimps on skewers.
