CLAM, SHRIMP, & SCALLOP PAN ROAST
Steps:
- Give the clams a good scrubbing, discarding any with cracked or open shells. Set aside. Heat the oil over medium-high in a pan that you can cover later. Throw in the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in the clam juice, wine, and Mutha Sauce. When the mixture is bubbling, add the clams. Cover and cook til the clams open, 3 to 5 minutes. Pull out the clams as they open, and keep them warm. (Pitch any clams that don't open.)
- Boil and reduce the pan juices over high heat for about 8 minutes. Sprinkle in the red pepper and season up the sauce with Worcestershire.
- Toss in the shrimp and scallops. Simmer til they're cooked and have just turned opaque, about 4 minutes. Swirl in the cream and basil. Return the clams to the pan, and gently stir together all the shellfish. Sprinkle with parsley and serve steaming hot.
Tips:
- Use fresh seafood for the best flavor. If using frozen seafood, thaw it completely before cooking.
- Make sure the batter is cold before frying. This will help the batter to adhere to the seafood and prevent it from becoming greasy.
- Do not overcrowd the fryer. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the seafood will not cook evenly.
- Fry the seafood until it is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the seafood should reach 145°F (63°C).
- Serve the seafood immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
