Heat oil (you only need a little) in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the scallops dry and season with Van Roehling Rod N' Surf Seasoning™. Cook until opaque throughout and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. That's it! This entrée is so decadent and delicious, it pairs very well with a side of rice and any vegetable.

Heat a fryer or a deep pot halfway filled with oil to 350 degrees F. Sprinkle both sides of each catfish with Van Roehling Rod 'N Surf Fish Seasoning™.

Deep fry for approximately 7 to 8 minutes until done. Drain on paper towels or in a mesh strainer.

 Lemon Garlic Shrimp

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons OMGarlic butter.  Add shrimp and cook until pink, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in remaining tablespoon OMGarlic butter, lemon juice, white wine, and serve. We often enjoy this over Angel Hair pasta and green salad.

  Crawfish and Shrimp Etouffee

Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Gradually stir in flour, and stir constantly until the mixture turns brown, at least 15 or 20 minutes, to make a 'Roux'. It is very important to stir this constantly.  Add the onions, celery and bell pepper to the skillet, and sauté for about 5 minutes to soften. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, fish stock and seasonings. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Add the crawfish and shrimp. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque.  Serve over rice and enjoy!

   One Pan Salmon and Asparagus

Preheat oven to 450˚F with oven rack in top third of the oven.  Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place salmon filet skin-side-down long-ways in the center of your baking pan. Arrange asparagus around salmon, and drizzle lightly with olive oil then dust with OMGarlic Seasoning.  In a small bowl mix together ingredients for garlic butter.  Spoon and spread ¾ of butter mixture over salmon. Dot asparagus with remaining garlic butter. Place slices of lemon on salmon and asparagus and bake at 450˚F for 10-12 mins, then turn the oven to Broil on High and broil 2-3 minutes to give the salmon a golden glow. Bake until salmon is flaky and cooked through.

**If you don't want to use all of the garlic butter on this meal, spread it on some rolls or save it in your fridge for future use!

  Grilled Shrimp Skewers

Sprinkle rub over shrimp.  Alternate vegetables and shrimp on skewers.  Place on grill and cook 4" from heat.  Cook 6-8 minutes, per side, basting every 3 minutes with Van Roehling Jalapeno Red Plum Glaze Sauce™.  Serve with remaining glaze sauce for dipping.

 Slow Cooker Jambalaya

*As an alternative, you could slice the flounder fillets and place stuffing inside the fillets.

  Fried Shrimp

Place shrimp in a large bowl. Combine cornmeal, panko breadcrumbs and Rod N' Surf Seasoning™. Pour oil to a depth of 3 inches into a Dutch oven; heat to 325º.  Dredge shrimp in egg, then dry mix and place in heated oil.  Fry shrimp, in batches, 1 1/2 minutes on each side or until golden brown; drain on wire racks over paper towels and serve with cocktail sauce.

  Blackened Tuna Steaks

Season steaks generously with seasoning.  Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over high heat. When oil is nearly smoking, place steaks in pan. Cook on one side for 3 to 4 minutes, or until blackened. Turn steaks, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or to desired doneness.

 Seared Ahi Tuna

Season tuna steak on both sides with Sizzlin Oak Steak Seasoning™.  Heat oil in nonstick pan over high heat.  Sear tuna, about 2 minutes on each side.  This can be served with a starch and vegetable, but it is amazing over a fresh spring salad!
