Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 lb sea scallops
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 cups baby spinach leaves
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 2 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tbsp parsley, chopped
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp and scallops under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and sear the scallops for 2 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the scallops and set aside with the shrimp.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
Stir in the cherry tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes until they begin to soften.
Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine. Stir and let it simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for 1–2 minutes until wilted.
Return the shrimp and scallops to the skillet. Pour in the lemon juice and sprinkle with red pepper flakes (if using). Toss to coat everything evenly.
Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper, if needed.
Remove from heat, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm with rice, pasta, or crusty bread.
