1/4 lb raw deveined/peeled shrimp
1/4 lb raw sea scallops or 1/4 lb bay scallops
2 cloves minced/crushed garlic
1 package fresh/refrigerated linguine
1 can diced tomatoes with onion and garlic ( Delmonte)
1 tablespoon oil ( olive or any type will do)
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
salt and pepper
fresh basil ( julienne) (optional)
Directions:
Preheat water for pasta.
Heat butter and oil in skillet over medium heat.
When hot, add garlic.
Cook 1 minute, or until you can smell the garlic.
Season seafood with salt and pepper, then add to garlic.
Cook on one side for 2 minutes.
Flip, and cook on second side for 2 minutes.
(Now is the time to start cooking your pasta-don’t forget to salt the water! cook pasta on high heat to maintain a rolling boil) Add the can of tomatoes (do not drain!) to the seafood.
Cover, lower heat to a simmer, and leave alone until the pasta is finished cooking.
(should take about 2-3 minutes if you’re using the fresh pasta).
Now’s the time to toast your garlic bread and toss your salad to round out a great meal!
Just before serving, add fresh basil to seafood mixture, stir through.
Serve over the linguini and Voila!
