Description
Make a rich and flavorful seafood pasta featuring shrimp and scallops in a creamy garlic white wine sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound linguine pasta
- 1 pound mixed seafood (shrimp, scallops)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken or seafood broth
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the linguine according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water before draining.
- Season the seafood lightly with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Do not let the garlic brown.
- Add the seafood to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the shrimp is pink and the scallops are opaque. Remove the seafood from the skillet and set aside.
- Pour the white wine into the skillet and let it simmer for 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Stir in the heavy cream and broth. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook until it thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Add the drained pasta and the cooked seafood back into the skillet. Toss everything to coat evenly in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
- Stir in the fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, use fresh herbs like thyme or oregano when simmering the sauce.
- If you prefer a richer sauce, substitute half of the heavy cream with cream cheese.
- Ensure your white wine is dry, such as Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc.
