CREAMY TUSCAN SHRIMP AND SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Rinse scallops and shrimp and pat dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Cook scallops first - Cook scallops on each side for approximately 2-1/2 minutes, or until browned. Transfer to a plate.
• Add more olive oil to the skillet if necessary and cook shrimp - Cook for about 1-1/2 minutes on each side or until shrimp have just turned pink on both sides. Transfer to the plate with the cooked scallops and set aside.
• Add garlic to skillet and cook until fragrant, stirring constantly (about 30 seconds).
• Add broth, cream, sun dried tomatoes, Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Stir well to combine.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 3-4 minutes. Add spinach and continue to simmer until spinach is wilted and sauce is slightly thickened (about 1-2 minutes).
• Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
• Return shrimp and scallops to skillet and serve topped with cream sauce.
• Optional: serve over cooked pasta, if desired.
