    Recipe Introduction


    This was delicious and really not at all difficult to make.

    List of Ingredients




    2 T. butter
    1 T. olive oil
    1/2 c. shallots
    8 oz. uncooked med. shrimp, peeled and deveined*
    8 oz. bay scallops
    1 t. fresh basil, chopped
    1 t. fresh dill, chopped
    3/4 c. white wine
    1 c. half & half
    1 lb. uncooked spinach fettuccini**
    salt to taste
    2 T. butter
    1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese (Reggiano if you can get it)

    Recipe



    Melt 2 T. butter with the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the shallots and saute' for 2 - 3 mins. or until tender but not browned. Add the shrimp and scallops and saute' for 1 min. Stir in the basil, dil and wine. Reduce heat and simmer until the mixture is reduced by 1/2. Add the half and half and cook mixture until it thickens, stirring constantly. (note: I used a little Wondra to speed up the thickening process) Remove from heat and keep warm.

    Cook the fettuccini in boiling salted water in a stockpot until al dente. Drain and toss with 2 T. butter and the Parmesan cheese in a serving bowl. Add the seafood misture and toss to mix. Serve with warm sourdough bread.

    *to devein I simply used a kitchen shears cutting the shell down the back to the tail, rinsed under cold water to remove vein and snapped off tail

    **I used a tri-color fettuccini
