LOW CARB SEARED SCALLOPS AND SPAGHETTI SQUASH RECIPE

Steps:

• Prepare the ingredients: cook the spaghetti squash (this post will give you step by step instructions), slice the tomatoes in half, and pull apart each mushroom "leaf". This article does a great job of explaining how to prepare maitake mushrooms.
• Heat a non-stick pan with 1 tbsp of olive oil on medium-high heat. Add the panko and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until lightly browned. Set aside.
• Melt 2 tbsps butter, garlic, white cooking wine, and lemon juice in a small sauce pan on medium-low heat, then slowly whisk in half and half, thyme, oregano, and flour. Stir constantly until fully combined and sauce has thickened. Then remove from heat and sprinkle in 1 tbsp of grated parmesan cheese, return the sauce to the burner and simmer until ready to use.
• Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel.
• Heat 1 tbsp of butter and 1/2 tbsp of olive oil in a large non-stick pan on high heat.
• Add scallops to the pan, being careful not to overcrowd. Sear for 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and finish searing for and additional minute. Immediately remove scallops from pan and transfer to a plate.
• Using the same pan you cooked the scallops in, sauté the mushrooms with 1 tbsp of olive oil for 2-3 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to low and add the spaghetti squash, tomatoes, and spinach to the pan with the mushrooms and slowly mix in the cream sauce. Adjust the amount of cream sauce added to your liking.
• Transfer scallops back to pan and garnish with toasted panko, parmesan cheese and fresh chopped parsley.

SPAGHETTINI WITH SPICY SEAFOOD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it is shimmering. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, add to the skillet and cook until lightly browned on both sides, about 3 minutes total; transfer to a plate. Season the scallops with salt and pepper, add to the skillet and cook undisturbed until nicely browned on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Give the scallops a quick stir and cook 1 minute, then transfer to the plate with the shrimp.
• Add the spaghetti to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions for al dente. Strain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water.
• While the spaghetti cooks, reduce the heat to medium, add the garlic to the skillet and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring to scrape up any brown bits, until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, red pepper flakes and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the pasta, shrimp, scallops and reserved cooking water and toss to combine. Continue cooking until the sauce coats the pasta and the seafood is heated through, about 2 minutes.
• Turn off the heat, stir in the parsley and basil and divide among four serving bowls. Sprinkle with the lemon zest, drizzle with more olive oil if desired and serve.
