New Delhi: There are countless methods for cooking seafood, some of which are fast, and healthy, and others which are merely simple. Baking is an excellent technique to prepare seafood with greens, herbs, or spices. Before baking, cover the food in aluminium foil and coat it with oil or butter (especially if you're baking shellfish). To shallow fry rather than deep fry, fully coat your food in batter or breadcrumbs, and then cook it for about 4-5 minutes in only 2-3 tablespoons of oil.

Here are 2 seafood recipes shared by Steven Lee that you can try at home:
