    Recipe Introduction


    So good and so easy! This recipe calls for cream. You can use the same recipe with a little additional olive oil and no cream. Although the shrimp broth is optional, it does add flavor.

    List of Ingredients




    1 pound fettuccini, spaghetti, bucattini or similar pasta
    1/2 cup olive oil
    1 pound shrimp, peeled
    1 pound bay scallops
    6 large cloves garlic, minced (more or less to taste)
    1/2 cup dry white wine
    1/2 cup broth made from shrimp shells (optional)
    1/2 cup cream
    2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley or 1 Tbsp dried
    1 Tbsp chopped fresh basil or 1 tsp dried
    1 tsp fresh lemon juice
    Salt and pepper to taste
    Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

    Recipe



    In large stockpot, heat water for pasta according to package directions for al dente.

    Meanwhile, a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Add shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until they just turn pink. Remove from pan. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and do the same with scallops. (Do not overcook.) Add garlic to sauté pan and sauté about 1 minute. Add wine and broth; cook on medium high heat until slightly reduced. Return shrimp and scallops to pan. Add cream, parsley, basil salt and pepper. Cook to reduce by about one-third. Add lemon juice.

    Drain pasta, leaving a little of the pasta broth. Add pasta to sauce. Toss to combine well. Serve immediately,
    passing cheese separately.

    SERVES 4-6
