SEAFOOD MEDLEY

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large frying pan with the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté half of the garlic until tender. Add the shrimp, calamari and clams to the sauce. Pour the white wine and the lemon juice over the seafood. Season the seafood with the thyme, pepper and salt and simmer over medium heat until seafood is tender and the clams have opened, approximately 10 minutes. Meanwhile, bring the water for the pasta to a boil or prepare rice as directed. Remove the seafood from the pan and set aside. Continue to simmer the remaining sauce and add the remaining garlic and mushrooms to the pan. Cook mushrooms until tender. Remove mushrooms; add the water and sauté sauce over medium high heat until reduced to half. While the pasta is cooking, add the tomatoes to the sauce. Return the seafood and vegetables to the pan and cook over medium high heat until warmed through. Tomatoes are to be cooked until tender, approximately an additional 3-4 minutes. Pour seafood and sauce over pasta or rice. Pour Romano cheese over the pasta and mix well. Serve with lemons, white wine and a crusty French bread.
