Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use fresh seafood for a more vibrant flavor. If scallops are unavailable, you can substitute with more shrimp or even firm white fish. Consider adding a squeeze of lemon for brightness. If you're short on time, pre-cooked shrimp can be a quick alternative. Always taste the sauce before serving to adjust seasoning as needed.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Seafood Neapolitan with a light salad or garlic bread for a complete meal. A crisp white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc, pairs beautifully with this dish. For a heartier option, consider serving alongside roasted vegetables or a side of Italian Zucchini(Appetizer) to complement the flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, gently warm in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of white wine or water to maintain moisture. Avoid microwaving as it can overcook the seafood, making it rubbery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen seafood for this recipe?
Yes, frozen seafood can be used. Just ensure it’s fully thawed and drained before cooking to avoid excess moisture. Quick-cooking frozen shrimp or scallops work well, but be careful not to overcook them, as they can become tough.
How can I make this dish gluten-free?
To make Seafood Neapolitan gluten-free, substitute spinach pasta with gluten-free pasta varieties made from rice or corn. Additionally, check the Hollandaise sauce package for gluten-containing ingredients or consider making a homemade version using gluten-free substitutes.
What can I do if I don't have white wine?
If you don’t have white wine on hand, you can substitute it with chicken broth or vegetable broth for similar depth of flavor. Alternatively, a splash of lemon juice mixed with water can also add acidity and brightness without the alcohol.
