This summer I have been having a blast trying new recipes with ingredients I have never used before. I have discovered all kinds of new meals that my family and I love.
Recently I had a chance to team up with Lagostina again - one of my all time favorite companies - for a fun Seafood Al Fresco Challenge with other bloggers.
Our challenge was to create a delicious new recipe using fresh seafood using the beautiful new Lagostina Luminosa Set that I received available now at your local #BedBathandBeyond. I was excited to participate in #SeafoodAlFrescoWithLagostina
Now I have loved - and used almost daily - my Lagostina Nera Hard Anodized 5 Qt. Casserole that I used for my Florida Style Shrimp & Grits, so I was excited to try pieces from their new collection.
The Lagostina Luminosa Set is made of premium grade stainless steel - which not only cooks great but also keeps your food pure. The 11-piece set includes a 1.6 qt. saucepan with lid, 2.4 qt. saucepan with lid, 3.2 qt. saucepan with lid, 6 qt. stockpot with lid, Steamer insert, 8" fry pan, and a 10.25" fry pan.
It is a complete collection of everything you need for the perfect kitchen! I used this set to make a new favorite meal that is simple but full of flavor - Baked Salmon With Lemon Parmesan Shrimp!
Now I would eat seafood all day every day if I could - but sometimes I need to shake things up and do something completely different and out of the ordinary.
Salmon is my go - to seafood, but I wanted to bring a little bit of a local flavor to really shake things up. There is nothing like local fresh Gulf shrimp to take any recipe to the next level. I whipped up a lemon garlic parmesan cream sauce and put it all together... it was absolute perfection.
Every bite you could taste the creamy garlic and parmesan with just a bit of tartness from the lemon. It was so good we nearly licked our plates clean.
The recipe is simple - but truly having a great set of cookware certainly helps. I have had a lot of pans say they were "nonstick" but the Lagostina set really is.
Plus the ability to move it from the top of the stove right into the oven makes this set incredibly versatile. I began by sauteeing garlic, butter, and the juice of a fresh lemon in the large fry pan, placing the salmon right into the mixture, and moving it right into a preheated oven to finish cooking while I prepared the shrimp and cream sauce on the stove top.
As much as I love salmon, the real feature of this dish was the shrimp and cream sauce which I made in the smaller fry pan. I loved that the smaller fry pan is nice and deep so I could put the full pound of shrimp in to cook and then added in the ingredients for the sauce.
The thing I love about a Parmesan Cream Sauce is how you can change it up and make it completely different with just a few extra ingredients. Since I love lemon on my seafood I went with a lemony garlic parmesan, but you can also spice it up with Cajun seasoning too!
This meal is fresh and light and delicious and sure to be a family favorite. I paired it with my favorite Garlic Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts and a cucumber salad and voila! In less than 30 minutes we were enjoying summer out on the back porch just soaking in the afternoon sunshine.

I made this tonight with a side of steamed fresh spinach and when I say that this was absolutely wonderful...I am not kidding! My husband is not much of a salmon eater but he and my 4 yrs old son sure did enjoy the shrimp and sauce. This recipe is definitely a winner and will be added to my "go to" list. Considering I am on a low carb diet, this dish almost makes me feel as if I am cheating because its yummy. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!!!
Phillip says
WOW! This was delicious! I made it with a cod loin, light and flakey. The sauce was so creamy and just the right amount of cheese. The next time I'll serve this over angel hair pasta, I don't want one drop of the sauce to go to waste. This dish is going on the monthly rotation. Thank you for the recipe!
