CREAMY TUSCAN SHRIMP AND SCALLOPS

• 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.

SHRIMP AND SCALLOPS WITH WHITE BEAN AND HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan cook the onion and garlic in 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until the onion is soft. Add the wine and simmer the mixture until the wine is reduced by half. Add the parsley, basil, 1/2 cup of the beans and the chicken broth, simmer the mixture stirring for 1 minute, and in a blender puree it. In the saucepan stir together the puree, the remaining 1/2 cup beans, and salt and pepper to taste and simmer the mixture for 2 minutes.
• In a skillet, preferably non-stick, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it saute the shrimp, seasoned with salt and pepper, for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes on each side or until they are cooked through. Transfer the shrimp with a slotted spoon to a plate and keep them warm. To the skillet add the scallops and saute them, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until they are cooked through. Divide the bean sauce between 2 shallow bowls and arrange the shellfish over it.

SEAFOOD PASTA WITH SHRIMP AND SCALLOPS (AND GARLIC!)

Steps:

• Soak the scallops for 10 minutes in a brine solution (3 Tbsp Kosher salt in 16 oz water.)
• Remove after 10 minutes and place on a rack to dry.
• Next, put a large pot of well salted water on to boil for the pasta. Once the pasta goes in, set a timer for 7 minutes before the pasta will be ready (according to package instructions.)
• Make sure the scallops are dry. If they are not, pat them dry with a paper towel. When the timer goes off, put a large cast iron pan on high heat and add the extra virgin olive oil.
• When the pan and oil are very hot, add the scallops and sear them for about 1 1/2 minutes before adding the shrimp, garlic, and parsley.
• Cook for another 2 minutes, then turn the scallops and shrimp and cook for a further 1 1/2 minutes. Next, add the wine, scraping the bottom of the pan; turn the heat down just to keep it warm.
• Add the butter and stir to melt. Add some freshly ground black pepper, if desired, then taste the sauce or a piece of seafood and add salt if needed.
• Drain the pasta, which should be ready, but reserve a cup or so of pasta water. You will only need this pasta water if you want to add some after mixing everything together. Add the pasta directly to the seafood sauce in the pan.
• Stir gently to incorporate all the ingredients together. Add some of the reserved pasta water, if desired, then top with a twist of lemon in the pan.
• Serve immediately as this seafood pasta dish is best piping hot. Don't forget some crusty bread to mop up the buttery garlic and wine sauce at the end!

SHRIMP AND SCALLOPS IN GARLIC CREAM SAUCE

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.
