Seafood Newburg Recipe (scallops, Shrimp, And Cod In A Sherry Cream Sauce)

"Seafood Newburg is a delicious, romantic dish. My take on a classic is to be flexible with the type of seafood and simplify the sauce without compromising taste. Seafood Newburg (also spelled Newberg and Newburgh) recipes have been around since the year Rutherford B. Hayes was elected president (who?). So what is Seafood Newburg? According to Wikipedia, the first Newburg dish ever served was in New York City’s Delmonico’s restaurant in 1876, called Lobster Newburg. Since then, many variations have popped up. From adding it to a puff pastry or a casserole, with or without egg, cheese, etc. Techniques and ingredients have changed over time. But regardless of authenticity and ingredients, the one thing all these variations have in common: it’s rich, it’s decadent, it’s delicious, it’s romantic, and it’s easy to make. My take on this classic is to stay flexible with the type of seafood and simplify the sauce without compromising taste. Go ahead, impress the person you love with an unforgettable dish this Valentine’s Day. Or any other time of the year, of course. "
