SEAFOOD PASTA IN LEMON BUTTER SAUCE | JUST A PINCH RECIPES



Seafood Pasta in Lemon Butter Sauce | Just A Pinch Recipes image

The lemon butter sauce in this seafood pasta is so good. It's a light sauce with a delicious lemony flavor. We love the blend of shrimp and scallops in this dish. They enhance the flavor of the sauce. Easy to prepare, save this for a special occasion (like Valentine's Day or New Year's Eve) or make this when you're craving shrimp and scallops. Serve this seafood pasta with a crispy salad, some warm bread, and prepare to smile.

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound(s) pasta of choice
1 medium onion, chopped
4 ounce(s) butter
1/3 cup(s) olive oil
1 pound(s) raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 pound(s) small raw scallops (or large cut in half)
2 tablespoon(s) minced lemon zest
1/4 cup(s) lemon juice
1/4 cup(s) white wine
- salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup(s) toasted pine nuts (or pinole nuts)
- grated Romano or Parmesan cheese, to taste

Steps:

  • Pour a glass of wine for the cook, saving 1/4 cup for the recipe. ;-)
  • Cook pasta in salted water till it's al dente. I make the lemon butter sauce while the water is coming to a boil because the sauce is very quick.
  • Saute onions in butter and olive oil on medium-high heat until tender. Add shrimp and scallops and saute until shrimp just starts to turn pink and is almost done, but not quite. Overcooking the shrimp and scallops makes them very tough. Also, the giant scallops take a long time to cook so I cut them in half to match the cooking time of the shrimp if I can't find smaller ones.
  • Add lemon zest, lemon juice, white wine, salt, and pepper. c=Cook for a few more minutes till bubbly and seafood is done.
  • Pour lemon butter sauce over drained (NOT RINSED) pasta and toss with grated cheese and pine nuts. Serve and enjoy an amazing seafood pasta.
  • Trader Joe's market has its frozen seafood blend of peeled raw shrimp, scallops, and calamari that I normally use. If you can find a combo bag of shellfish like this at your local market it is both super delicious and easy, just defrost and pour in.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 lb. salmon fillets, cut into 4 pieces

Steps:

  • Remove from heat. Stir in cold butter 1 tablespoon at a time until each is well blended. Stir in dill, chives and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cover to keep warm.

  • When grill is heated, place salmon, skin side up, on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals. Cook 8 to 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork, turning once and brushing occasionally with any remaining oil mixture. If necessary, reheat butter sauce over very low heat, stirring constantly. Serve salmon with butter sauce.
