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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh seafood: Fresh seafood will have a better flavor and texture than frozen seafood. If you can, buy your shrimp or scallops from a local fishmonger or seafood market.
  • Thaw frozen seafood properly: If you're using frozen seafood, thaw it properly in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for 30 minutes.
  • Pat the seafood dry: Before cooking the seafood, pat it dry with paper towels. This will help to prevent the seafood from sticking to the pan.
  • Use a hot pan: When cooking the seafood, make sure the pan is hot before adding the seafood. This will help to sear the seafood and prevent it from sticking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the seafood, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the seafood from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the seafood until it's opaque: Cook the seafood until it's opaque and cooked through. Overcooking the seafood will make it tough and rubbery.
  • Season the seafood: Season the seafood with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Serve the seafood immediately: Serve the seafood immediately after cooking. This will ensure that the seafood is hot and at its best.
