Time 29m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt
1 pound linguine
12 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
12 large sea scallops, tough foot muscles removed
Freshly ground pepper
3 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for garnish
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup torn fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

SEAFOOD PASTA WITH SHRIMP AND SCALLOPS (AND GARLIC!)



Seafood Pasta with Shrimp and Scallops (and Garlic!) image

A buttery garlic wine sauce pairs with shrimp and scallops in this easy dish. Add some pasta and dinner is served!

Provided by Christina Conte

Categories     Main Courses

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb (454 g) scallops, fresh or thawed
Kosher salt
12 oz (340 g) good quality pasta
3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
8 large or 12 medium raw shrimp, fresh or frozen (and thawed) peeled, and deveined
3 or 4 cloves minced garlic
chopped Italian, flat leaf parsley
freshly ground black pepper
2 to 3 oz (57 g to 85 g) good quality butter
1/3 cup (80 ml) dry white wine (you can substitute seafood stock or broth if you'd like)
(lemon slices/wedges to serve)

Steps:

  • Soak the scallops for 10 minutes in a brine solution (3 Tbsp Kosher salt in 16 oz water.)
  • Remove after 10 minutes and place on a rack to dry.
  • Next, put a large pot of well salted water on to boil for the pasta. Once the pasta goes in, set a timer for 7 minutes before the pasta will be ready (according to package instructions.)
  • Make sure the scallops are dry. If they are not, pat them dry with a paper towel. When the timer goes off, put a large cast iron pan on high heat and add the extra virgin olive oil.
  • When the pan and oil are very hot, add the scallops and sear them for about 1 1/2 minutes before adding the shrimp, garlic, and parsley.
  • Cook for another 2 minutes, then turn the scallops and shrimp and cook for a further 1 1/2 minutes. Next, add the wine, scraping the bottom of the pan; turn the heat down just to keep it warm.
  • Add the butter and stir to melt. Add some freshly ground black pepper, if desired, then taste the sauce or a piece of seafood and add salt if needed.
  • Drain the pasta, which should be ready, but reserve a cup or so of pasta water. You will only need this pasta water if you want to add some after mixing everything together. Add the pasta directly to the seafood sauce in the pan.
  • Stir gently to incorporate all the ingredients together. Add some of the reserved pasta water, if desired, then top with a twist of lemon in the pan.
  • Serve immediately as this seafood pasta dish is best piping hot. Don't forget some crusty bread to mop up the buttery garlic and wine sauce at the end!

Shrimp and Scallops in Garlic Cream Sauce image

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons
5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
4 cloves shallots, chopped
2 cups white wine
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves, plus sprigs for garnish
1 teaspoon chopped thyme leaves
2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 pounds (20/30 count) sea scallops
1 1/2 pounds (16/20 count) shrimp peeled and deveined with tails left on
1 1/2 to 2 pounds cooked pasta or rice, for an accompaniment
1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano

Steps:

  • In a large saute pan, heat 1/4 cup oil and cook garlic and shallot until translucent, about 2 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the wine, and add parsley, basil and thyme and let the liquid reduce by half. Using a fine strainer, strain the reduction into a clean saucepan and add the cream. Over low heat, let the sauce reduce to medium thickness. To the now empty saute pan, add 2 tablespoons olive oil, saute scallops, cook until opaque and remove to a utility platter in a warm place. Then use the same pan to saute shrimp just until pink, and remove to the utility platter. Add cream sauce to saute pan to toss the drained pasta or rice with the cream sauce and seafood, reserving a few scallops and shrimp for the top. Transfer to a serving dish, and sprinkle with cheese, as garnish. Arrange shrimp and scallops on top and garnish with basil sprigs.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 large sea scallops
8 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 oz angel hair pasta (enough to fit through a quarter sized hole)
1-1/2 c small button mushrooms
1/2 c frozen or fresh peas
2-1/2 tsp kosher or sea salt, divided
1/2 tsp seafood seasoning or rub
1/4 c chopped shallots

1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 c chopped parsley plus more for garnish

Drain the pasta, pour out all but 1/2 cup of the water from your pasta pan, and return the pasta to the pot over low heat. Add 1 tbsp of butter, the remaining salt, the chopped garlic, the crushed red pepper flakes and 1/4 cup of chopped parsley and combine thoroughly. Stir in the mushrooms, capers and peas and keep warm.

Depending on their size, cook for 2 to 2-1/2 minutes until is well seared, but not burnt. Turn the scallops over and then add the shrimp. Cook the shrimp for 1 minute on each side. During the last minute add 1 tablespoon of butter and baste the scallops and shrimp. Everything should be done at the same time. Remove from the heat to a warm plate.
  • 7. During the last minute of cooking the scallops and shrimp, add the remaining tbsp of butter to the butter and wine sauce and let it melt.
  • 8. Divide the pasta between two bowls, sprinkle on the lemon zest, arrange the scallops and shrimp on top of the pasta, divide the sauce between the 2 bowls, sprinkle on the remaining parsley and serve.

SAVORY SEA SCALLOPS AND ANGEL HAIR PASTA



Savory Sea Scallops and Angel Hair Pasta image

This is a very simple, easy to prepare meal that you will most likely be asked to prepare again. The taste, if carefully prepared and not overcooked, is incredible. ENJOY!

Provided by JIM F.

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Scallops

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta
¼ cup butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 pounds sea scallops, rinsed and patted dry
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese to taste

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the angel hair pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and cook just until fragrant and softened, about 1 minute. Slice any scallops over 3/4-inch thick in half so they'll cook evenly; stir scallops, basil, and parsley into the skillet. Cook and gently stir just until scallops feel slightly firm when pressed with a finger, 2 to 3 minutes. Scallops will become tough and chewy if overcooked. Stir in lemon juice, and season with salt and black pepper. Pour in cream if you like a thicker sauce. Bring the mixture just to a bare simmer.
  • Serve over hot angel hair pasta; sprinkle to taste with Parmesan cheese.
