    Shrimp & Scallop Stew --e
    Yield: 5 servings

    - 1/2 pound potatoes, diced
    - 1/2 cup carrots, diced
    - 2 tablespoons olive oil
    - 1/2 cup onion, diced
    - 1/2 tablespoon garlic, minced
    - 1/4 pound mushrooms, sliced
    - 4 ounces shrimp, deveined and without shells
    - 4 ounces bay scallops
    - 1/4 cup white wine
    - 1 cup evaporated skim milk
    - 2 tablespoons cornstarch
    - 2 tablespoons water
    - 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
    - 1/2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
    - 1/4 teaspoon salt
    - Pinch black pepper

    Fill a medium pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the potatoes. Cook for 5 minutes. Add the diced carrots. Cook for 5 minutes more, or until the vegetables are tender. Remove the vegetables from the water and set aside.

    Heat 1 tablespoon on the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until they are slightly wilted, about 3-5 minutes. Remove them from the pot and set aside.

    Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pot, then add the shrimp and scallops. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the white wine and allow it to reduce by half. Add all of the cooked vegetables to the pot, plus the evaporated milk. Bring the liquid to a simmer.

    In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until they form a smooth paste. Slowly stir the cornstarch mixture into the pan to thicken the liquid. Return the liquid to a simmer, then remove it from the heat.

    Add the green onions and dill. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
