Dubbed ‘Seaside Comfort’ – buttery, garlicky, and feels like a vacation in every bite!

Cooking times:

• Shrimp: 2–3 minutes per side
• Scallops: 2–3 minutes per side
• White fish fillets: 3–4 minutes per side
• Remove the seafood and set aside on a plate.

3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce

• Reduce the heat to low-medium.
• Add 4 tablespoons of butter to the same skillet. Let it melt slowly.
• Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant (don’t burn!).
• If using, pour in 1/4 cup white wine and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.
• Add lemon juice and fresh herbs, stirring gently to combine.
• Taste and adjust with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Pro Tip: Fresh herbs elevate the flavor, giving it that “sun-kissed seaside” aroma.

4. Combine and Finish

• Return the seafood to the skillet and gently toss in the garlic butter sauce.
• Heat for another 1–2 minutes until everything is well-coated and warmed through.

5. Serve Like a Vacation

• Plate the seafood on a serving dish.
• Spoon extra garlic butter sauce over the top.
• Serve with crusty bread to soak up the buttery goodness, or over pasta for a hearty meal.
• Garnish with extra fresh herbs and a wedge of lemon for a beautiful, fresh presentation.

Extra Tips for Maximum Comfort

1. Seafood variety: Mix shrimp, scallops, and small pieces of white fish for a true “seaside medley.”
2. Butter swap: Try a touch of garlic-infused olive oil if you prefer a lighter version.
3. Wine-free option: Replace white wine with a splash of seafood or chicken stock.
4. Make it a feast: Pair with a chilled glass of white wine or sparkling water with lemon for that full vacation vibe.

Why It Feels Like a Vacation

Seaside Comfort isn’t just about taste—it’s about experience. The garlicky, buttery sauce reminds you of seaside restaurants, while the fresh herbs and lemon keep the dish light and refreshing. Every bite evokes sun, sand, and waves, all from the comfort of your kitchen.

This dish is perfect for when you want luxury without fuss—simple ingredients, easy preparation, and maximum flavor. One bite and you’ll understand why it’s rightly called Seaside Comfort.

If you want, I can also create a shortcut “one-pan version” that makes it even easier for a quick weeknight dinner while keeping that vacation vibe. It’s perfect for minimal cleanup and maximum taste.
