SCALLOPS IN CREAM SAUCE WITH SPINACH FETTUCCINE
This sounds really good. From the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute. ETA: I finally made this and liked it. I made 2 appetizer servings, then discovered that my grandson doesn't like scallops, lol. I thought that the first serving I made was a tad bland. So took my grandson's portion and played with it a little bit. I added some gruyere cheese, a little fresh tarragon and a dash of nutmeg and really liked these additions.

SCALLOPS AND SPINACH FETTUCCINE WITH RED BELL PEPPER CREAM SAUCE
Steps:
- Whisk first 7 ingredients in large bowl. Mix in scallops. Refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight.
- Cook fettuccine in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite. Drain well.
- Meanwhile, heat heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove scallops from marinade. Add to skillet and cook just until opaque in center, about 1 minute per side. Bring Red Bell Pepper Cream Sauce to simmer in another large skillet. Add fettuccine to Red Bell Pepper Cream Sauce and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to large bowl. Arrange scallops atop pasta. Drizzle any pan juices over scallops. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh scallops that are firm to the touch and have a slightly briny smell.
- If you can't find fresh scallops, frozen scallops can also be used. Just be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
- To make sure the scallops are cooked through, cook them over medium-high heat until they are opaque and firm to the touch, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the scallops. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- If you don't have fettuccine noodles, you can use any other type of pasta, such as spaghetti or linguine.
- To make the sauce creamier, add a little bit of heavy cream or milk.
- Spinach can be chopped or torn into bite-sized pieces.
- You can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a little bit of heat.
