Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
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.
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.
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.
In the same skillet, add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes until they begin to soften.
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.
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.
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.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to combine with the seafood and sauce.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately and enjoy your dairy-free seafood pasta.
