Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh seafood instead of cooked?
Yes, you can use fresh shrimp and scallops, but make sure to cook them first before adding them to the sauce. This ensures that they reach the proper doneness and enhances the overall flavor of the dish.
What can I substitute for margarine?
If you prefer not to use margarine, unsalted butter works well as a substitute. It will add a rich flavor to the sauce. For a dairy-free option, try using olive oil or coconut oil, although the taste will differ slightly.
Is there a way to make this dish lighter?
To lighten Seafood Newberg, you can replace whole milk with low-fat milk or a combination of milk and vegetable broth. Reducing the amount of margarine can also help. Be sure to adjust the seasoning to maintain flavor.
