- Serve the seafood with a dipping sauce: This will add another layer of flavor to the dish. Some good options include melted butter, lemon juice, or a seafood sauce.
Conclusion:
Steamed seafood is a healthy and delicious way to enjoy your favorite seafood. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning, you can create a delicious steamed seafood medley that will impress your friends and family.Tips:
