Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Gluten-free pasta
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 ounces Medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 ounces Scallops
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 6 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten-free pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the shrimp and scallops. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the seafood is opaque and cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir constantly to prevent the cream from burning.
Add grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to the cream sauce. Stir until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Return the cooked shrimp and scallops to the skillet, along with the drained pasta. Toss everything together gently to coat the pasta and seafood in the creamy garlic sauce.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your gluten-free creamy garlic seafood pasta.
