If you have never done it before, cooking in parchment can seem intimidating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it is an easy baking method that uses paper to wrap single-serve portions of food. The packages can be heart, rectangle or oval shaped. Lessening the last-minute hassle before dinner, they can be assembled in advance and stored in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bundled in paper, flounder with fresh mushrooms, savory shrimp and Parmesan snapper bake in 15 minutes or less in a preheated oven. The seafood packets emerge perfectly steamed, making an elegant holiday meal that your guests will enjoy unwrapping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you prefer a casual look, aluminum foil can be used to create the packages, as pictured in the Parmesan snapper recipe. If you are unable to find the fish recommended in the recipes, ask your seafood retailer for a good substitute. Remember to adjust your cooking time according to the thickness of the fillet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shrimp often are available at the retail market year-round. This time of year, they are likely to be frozen or pre-frozen. Raw shrimp are freshly frozen toward the end of the season, then thawed for retail during the winter months. Frozen shrimp retain a fresh flavor for several months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See the sidebar by Barry Nash<\/a>, North Carolina Sea Grant seafood technology and marketing specialist, for more about selecting and preparing frozen seafood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
