Buttery seafood sauce recipe needed



Recommended Posts

I already posted this question on another thread but really need a response for tonight so I will post here too. I used to eat my shellfish with drawn butter but of course that’s out nowadays and last time I had it with melted I can’t believe it’s not butter but it’s just not the same. I am wondering if anyone has a lower calorie buttery seafood sauce that is good on lobster and snow crab legs?? So far I found one online that used I can’t believe it’s not butter, onion, roasted garlic, chicken stock, lemon and seasonings which sounded promising but they roasted the garlic in olive oil which I try to stay away from just cause of the calories. Can I just roast the garlic with some Pam spray maybe?? How do you guys eat seafood post surgery?

Okay so I have been searching since I posted this and haven’t really found anything better than this recipe so far. I realized that I don’t have any fresh garlic anyways so I am just going to try it with rehydrated “garlic garlic” seasoning and see how it goes. With this one modification it’s pretty low calorie so I am hoping I like it.

Was it good? I melted the butter and dipped my fork tines in the butter to get the taste, but not too many calories. I’ve made sauces with olive oil or grape seed oil, or cook with the oils in spray can form from Trader Joe’s to keep amounts low. Sometimes I heat up a low calorie Salad Dressing for a dip, it brings out delicious flavors warmed up. I went out last fall with friends and ate my lobster with just the lemon. It was still tasty!

Okay so I just made the sauce and it’s not bad at all. I tried it with steamed veggies cause my hubby is still working on the rest of dinner on the grill. I have to confess I didn’t measure anything because I only needed a smaller portion and didn’t want to bother with the math but now I wish I had so I can replicate it. I do know that I used more garlic and onion than called for but that’s always a matter of taste.

Anyways, It’s not drawn butter type of good, of course, but it’s much better than just the melted fake butter I had last time right out of the tub and adding the chicken stock (diluting the margarin) decreases the calories so win-win. My husband likes it a lot. He already asked if I can make it again when we have salmon. If you like garlic and onion flavors i’d say it’s definitely worth trying. I’m sure it would be even better with fresh garlic.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
