Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Gluten-free spaghetti
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 8 oz Medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 oz Sea scallops
- 2 tbsp Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 cup White wine
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 0.5 tsp Red pepper flakes
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add gluten-free spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add shrimp and scallops to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are opaque and lightly golden.
Pour in the lemon juice and white wine, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes, letting the liquid reduce slightly.
Stir in the cherry tomatoes, and cook for another 2 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with the seafood mixture. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce.
Add fresh basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Toss again to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Serve the gluten-free seafood spaghetti in bowls with any additional lemon wedges or extra basil for garnish, if desired.
