    Velvety seafood sauce


    Source of Recipe


    First published in Chatelaine's 06/2002 issue

    List of Ingredients




    6 cups (1.5 L) chunky tomato sauce
    1/2 lb (250 g) cooked or raw shelled deveined shrimp, about 12 to 14
    1 lb (500 g) bay scallops or sea scallops, sliced in half
    250 ml container whipping cream, or 1 cup (optional)
    2 tbsp (30 mL) Pernod (optional)
    1 tbsp (15 mL) anchovy paste (optional)

    Recipe



    1. Heat tomato sauce in a large saucepan set over medium heat. Stir occasionally until it comes to a boil. Meanwhile, if using frozen shrimp and scallops, remove from freezer and rinse under cold running water to remove ice crystals. Gently squeeze out excess water from seafood.

    2. If using cream, Pernod and anchovy paste, stir into sauce once it is hot. Taste after each addition. We loved all 3 ingredients added, but you may want to use only 1 or 2. Increase heat to medium-high, then stir in fresh or frozen shrimp and scallops. Cook, uncovered and stirring often, until shrimp are warmed through and bright pink and scallops are firm, from 5 to 6 minutes. Spoon sauce over hot spaghetti or linguine and serve immediately. Great with a bottle of red wine and crusty French bread.
