Time 54m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons butter
4 small shallots, minced
½ cup dry white wine
¾ cup milk
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh tarragon
salt to taste
2 tablespoons butter
2 fennel, trimmed and sliced
1 blood orange, juiced
12 ounces fresh spinach
12 jumbo shrimp
12 sea scallops
salt and ground black pepper to taste
5 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir shallots until translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in white wine; simmer until reduced by almost half. Strain out shallots; discard.
  • Pour milk, heavy cream, and tarragon into the saucepan; simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt. Reduce heat to low and cover to keep warm.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir fennel until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Pour in orange juice; simmer until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Stir in spinach. Reduce heat, cover skillet, and cook spinach until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir well. Remove from heat and keep covered.
  • Season shrimp and scallops with salt and pepper.
  • Melt 2 1/2 tablespoons of butter in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add scallops; cook until browned, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook on the second side for 1 minute. Add remaining butter and shrimp to the skillet; cook until shrimp turns pink, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Spoon some of the cream sauce onto each serving dish. Divide fennel and spinach mixture evenly among dishes. Arrange 3 scallops and 3 shrimp in a spiral over the fennel and spinach mixture.
