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.

2 tablespoons minced shallots

Tips:

- For the best results, use fresh sea scallops and shrimp. If using frozen, thaw them completely before cooking. - Make sure the scallops and shrimp are dry before searing them. This will help them brown evenly. - Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the scallops and shrimp. This will prevent them from cooking evenly. - Cook the scallops and shrimp until they are just opaque in the center. Overcooked seafood is tough and chewy. - The champagne butter sauce is very versatile. It can also be used to cook other seafood, such as fish or crab. - If you don't have champagne, you can substitute white wine or even chicken broth. - Garnish the dish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, before serving.

Conclusion:

This sea scallops and shrimp with champagne butter sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The scallops and shrimp are cooked to perfection and the sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
