Ingredients
- 12 oz Pasta (linguine or fettuccine)
- 12 Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 12 Sea scallops
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup White wine
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0 to taste Salt
- 0 to taste Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/4 cup of pasta water.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and scallops, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are opaque and slightly golden. Remove seafood from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 4
Pour white wine into the skillet with the garlic, scraping up any browned bits. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the wine to reduce slightly.
Step 5
Add heavy cream, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the skillet, stirring until combined. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to thicken.
Step 6
Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, continuing to cook until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 7
Return the cooked shrimp and scallops to the skillet, along with the drained pasta. Toss everything together gently, ensuring the pasta and seafood are well-coated with the sauce. If needed, add some reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.
Step 8
Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your creamy garlic seafood pasta hot.
