Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 pound Sea scallops
- 1 cup Cooked lobster meat (chopped into bite-sized pieces)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 5 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 cup Dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Chicken or seafood stock
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 12 ounces Linguine
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest (for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, pat the shrimp and scallops dry with a paper towel and season with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the scallops to the skillet and sear for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove scallops from the skillet and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, flipping once, until they turn pink. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
Add the remaining butter and olive oil to the skillet. Lower the heat to medium, then add the minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine and lemon juice. Let it simmer for 2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off.
Stir in the chicken or seafood stock and heavy cream. Continue simmering for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the cooked scallops, shrimp, and lobster meat to the skillet. Stir gently to coat the seafood in the sauce, and cook for 2 minutes to warm through.
Add the cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing everything together until the pasta is well-coated in the sauce.
Sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes if using.
Garnish with lemon zest before serving immediately. Enjoy your Venus De Milo Seafood Scampi!
