Provided by Morgan

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

16 garlic cloves, peeled
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Olive oil spray
8 ounces fettuccine or pasta of choice, cooked according to package directions
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 pound frozen peeled and deveined shrimp, thawed and pat dry
Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
2/3 cup heavy cream
2/3 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons capers
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 tablespoon paprika
Pinch of crushed red pepper
2 cups baby spinach
Fresh basil and / or parsley, to top
French bread, to serve

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Toss the garlic with kosher salt in a small bowl. Pour the garlic mixture onto the prepared pan and bake until caramelized, about 15-20 minutes, tossing occasionally.
  • As the garlic cooks, prepare the shrimp. Melt the butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and add to the pan. Cook until just pink and cooked through, about 3 minutes total, flipping halfway through. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add in the cream, chicken broth, parmesan cheese, white wine, and capers. Cook, stirring, until the parmesan has melted into the sauce. Add in the caramelized garlic, lemon juice, paprika, crushed red pepper, and spinach and cook for an additional minute.
  • Add in the cooked shrimp and pasta. Stir and continue to cook until heated through. Serve warm, topped with basil and parsley, with french bread, for dipping.

CREAMY LEMON SPINACH PASTA WITH SCALLOPS & SHRIMP



Creamy Lemon Spinach Pasta With Scallops & Shrimp image

A very easy impressive dish, but also very quick to prepare. Now being in FL, fresh seafood is always available. But frozen shrimp would work fine for this. And, I also don't have too bad of luck with some frozen scallops. As these are poached in this dish rather than seared, the frozen scallops will work ok, if fresh are not available. The spinach fettuccini or linguini is really the key to bring all the flavors together. The last time I used fresh pasta which really made a big difference. My Dad and friends love this dish and request it all the time. It is creamy and rich, but the zucchini and lemon really lightens the richness.

Provided by SarasotaCook

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 ounces spinach fettuccine (linguini will also be a nice substitute, but spinach really is what makes this dish)
1/2 shrimp, I used ex-large, but use whatever is on sale (un-cooked, peeled and deveined)
1/2 lb sea scallops, if you can't get sea scallops, bay scallops will be just fine
2 cups zucchini, coarse shredded (I just use my cheese grater rather than dirtying up the food processor, but both work)
1 small onion, cut in quarters and thin sliced
1 -1 1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup vermouth
1 cup heavy cream
1 lemon, zested
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon fresh dill (feel free to add (to taste)
salt
pepper
fresh lemon slice
dill

Steps:

  • Vegetables -- In a medium size sauce pan, heat to medium and add the butter. Then add in the onion, garlic and saute 1-2 minutes. Add in the zucchini and cook just another minute until the zucchini begins to slightly soften. It only takes a minute or less. Remove the vegetables immediately to a bowl and cover to keep them warm.
  • Scallops and Shrimp -- Add the wine and vermouth to the same pan and bring to a light boil (medium / medium high heat). Add the shrimp and scallops and cook 1-2 minutes. Once the shrimp begin to turn pink and curl immediately take off the heat and use a slotted spoon and remove the shrimp and scallops to the bowl with the zucchini and onion. Cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Sauce -- Return the pan back to stove and add the cream to wine and vermouth sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer about 10-12 minutes until reduced by half. This is the perfect time to cook your pasta. Once the sauce is finished, remove from the heat and add in the lemon zest and lemon juice. Add the sauce to the bowl with the vegetables and seafood and toss well. The sauce will heat everything back up.
  • Pasta -- As the sauce cooks, make your pasta according to package directions. Drain well.
  • Finish -- In a large serving bowl or serving platter, toss the pasta with the seafood sauce. Season with the dill, salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve -- Garnish with some fresh dill and lemon slices. Serve some crusty bread and if you want some fresh greens for a salad. ENJOY!

¾ (16 ounce) package spaghetti
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots

Tips:

  • Don't overcook the seafood. Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.

  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. The creamy lemon spinach sauce is a classic, but you can also try other sauces, such as a tomato-based sauce or a pesto sauce.
  • Garnish your pasta dish with fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley. This will add a pop of color and flavor to your dish.

Conclusion:

Creamy lemon spinach pasta with scallops and shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following the tips above, you can create a pasta dish that is sure to impress your friends and family.
