Scallop & Shrimp Pasta
- Ingredients:
- 3/4 Cup uncooked Farfelle (BowTie Pasta)
- 7 Sea Scallops sliced horizonally (patted dry with paper towels)
- 8 Shrimp, raw, cleaned, deveined, (patted dry with paper towels)
- 1 Tomato, large, fresh
- 2 Garlic Cloves, minced
- 1/2 Cup White Wine
- 1/2 Cup Heavy Cream
- Olive Oil
- Peanut Oil
- Salt/Pepper
- 2 Tablespoons chopped parsley
- 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- Tabasco (about 4-5 drops or to taste)
- Directions:
- 1. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain, return to pot with enough Olive Oil to prevent sticking-tablespoon or two.
- 2. Heat combination of Olive Oil and Peanut Oil ( approx. 1/3 cup total) in large skillet. (big enough to dump the pasta into to it with the cooked scallops & shrimp later)
- 3. Brown the scallops on each side-Do not overcook---toss in with the cooked pasta or set aside in a dish.
- 4. After removing the scallops from the skillet, cook shrimp for about a minute on each side-do not overcook! Put them in with the pasta and scallops.
- 5. Add chopped garlic to skillet until just tender.
- 6. Add the wine, (be careful of the steam) and scrape up all the good brown caramelized stuff from the scallops.
- 7. Add the peeled, seeded, chopped tomato to the skillet. (While the pasta water is boiling, stick a fork into the tomato and hold it in the boiling water for about 10 seconds. Rinse with cold water, peel, slice in half, scoop out seeds, and chop.)
- 8. Bring to a boil to reduce slightly. Take off heat briefly to add cream; stir.
- 9. Stir in chopped Basil and Parsley, and Tabasco
- 10. Dump Pasta, Scallops & Shrimp into sauce in skillet and heat through for a couple of minutes before serving.
