I like sauteed shrimp and scallops served over pasta!.
Put some olive oil and butter in a skillet and melt!. If your scallops are large, quarter them!. Saute shrimp first until they are just opaque, then the scallops for just a few minutes---don't overcook or they will be rubbery!.
Melt more butter and add minced garlic!. Be sure to salt and pepper well!. Toss with seafood and pour over cooked pasta!. Add chopped parsley to garnish!.
If you likea cream sauce, add cream and reduce by half --add some grated cheese!. Then pour over pasta!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
