Seafood Pasta In A Foil Package Recipes

SEAFOOD PASTA IN A FOIL PACKAGE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the sauce: Cook the pasta for half the recommended cooking time; the pasta should still be very firm.
• In a skillet, cook the garlic in the butter and olive oil for a few minutes, and then pour in the wine. Allow this to reduce for a couple of minutes, and then pour in the tomatoes. Stir the mixture together, season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes, and allow to cook for 10 minutes.
• For the seafood: In a separate skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Sear the scallops, then the shrimp, until they're nice and black/brown.
• Meanwhile, grab 2 large sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil and overlap them in a platter with a little depth. It should be large enough to hold the entire pasta dish.
• Mix the drained pasta with the sauce and tip it onto the foil. Then arrange the sauteed seafood on top. Tightly wrap the foil into a package.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and keep warm until serving.
• To serve: Open the foil package right before serving. Drizzle warm cream over the top and sprinkle with torn basil and parsley.

FOIL-PACKET SHRIMP PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook about 2 minutes less than the time for al dente on the package. Drain.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat 1 tablespoon each butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the shrimp, season with salt and cook until they're nicely browned and opaque, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, turning once. Remove them to a plate and set aside. Repeat with more butter and oil, the remaining shrimp and some salt.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon each butter and olive oil to the skillet. Throw in the garlic and stir to prevent it from burning, then stir in the wine. Let the liquid reduce a couple of minutes. Stir the tomatoes with their juices, 3/4 teaspoon salt, black pepper to taste and the red pepper flakes into the sauce. Simmer for about 7 minutes.
• Grab 2 large sheets of heavy-duty foil and overlap them by about 8 inches on a rimmed baking sheet. Pour the drained pasta onto the foil. Spoon the tomato sauce and sauteed shrimp on top, making sure you include all the juices.
• Tightly wrap the foil into a packet, rolling up the sides so it won't leak. Bake for 15 minutes.
• Open the foil packet right before serving, drizzle with the warm heavy cream and sprinkle with the basil, parsley and cheese. Be sure to get some of the sauce with each serving. It's heavenly!
