Ingredients
- 12 ounces gluten-free pasta (or any dairy-free pasta)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 ounces sea scallops
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 0.5 cup coconut cream
- 1 large lemon, zested and juiced
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the shrimp and sea scallops to the skillet. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they just turn opaque. Remove the seafood from the pan and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes until they begin to soften.
Step 5
Deglaze the pan by adding the white wine, scraping any bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2 minutes until the wine reduces slightly.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low, stir in the coconut cream, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
Step 7
Return the shrimp and scallops to the skillet, coating them in the sauce. Add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to taste.
Step 8
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to combine with the seafood and sauce.
Step 9
Garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately and enjoy your dairy-free seafood pasta.
