Seafood Paella
How about this typical Spanish dish to follow the rules without having to skip delicious food? We all know the classic Iberian dish, and this is the typical recipe that will impress the whole family.

Grilled Seafood Salad
You can take advantage of the prohibition of red meat to make dishes that transport you to the beach, like this fresh and vibrant grilled seafood salad. It includes shrimp, squid, and octopus along with red onion and a mix of lettuces that will make it a very light salad. The special touch will be given by goat cheese, which adds a tangy flavor to the recipe.

Spicy Garlic Shrimp
The combination of guajillo chili with fried garlic is a sensational flavor that pairs very well with seafood, especially shrimp. This is a simple recipe based on those three ingredients plus parsley, which adds a fresh aroma. Remember that shrimp cook quickly, so you shouldn't leave them in the pan too long, as this would change their texture and make them chewy.

Crab Cakes with Parmesan Cheese
For a slightly more luxurious alternative but in a homemade format, here’s this delicious crab cake recipe. They pair well with a simple green salad and can also be accompanied by some vinaigrette or tartar sauce, as the flavor of the crab cakes goes very well with any citrus or acidic profile. Although fresh crab is recommended, canned or frozen crab can also be used without any problem.
