Enticing Entrees

Seafood Sauté

1 pound fresh scallops (halved if very large)

1 pound fresh shrimp, peeled and de-veined

1 pound crab blend

1 head of broccoli,

cut into pieces

½ pound fresh snow peas, cleaned

1 pound Angel hair or Capellini pasta

4 - 5 cloves fresh garlic, minced

1 stick butter, melted

Parmesan cheese

Prepare all ingredients in advance, cleaning seafood and cutting up broccoli, etc. so everything is ready to cook. Bring pasta water to boil. Put vegetables in the steamer pan and bring to a boil. Put a little olive oil and butter in a big sauté pan, and add the garlic when hot. Begin cooking the seafood: (whichever is bigger, scallops or shrimp, add first, then the smaller) and then the crab. Season with salt and pepper.

While the seafood cooks add the pasta to the pasta pot (it should take only a few minutes to cook). Have a large bowl ready for all the components. Everything should be cooked and ready within 5 to 7 minutes. Put the drained capellini in the bowl, and add a little salt and pepper and the melted butter. Top next with the cooked vegetables and then with the finished seafood. Sprinkle a little parmesan cheese on top. Toss to combine.

Serve with extra Parmesan, and Italian bread and a salad on the side.

Mise en place ... which means, 'everything in place.'
Be sure to have it all prepped and ready to go.
This is a quick cooking dish!

The seafood in one pot, pasta in another, and the steamed veggies in a third!

Assembled and ready to go! Just sprinkle a little Parmesan cheese on top!
It's hard to see from the angle, but that is a big serving bowl.
Big is good, because you'll want seconds and thirds!
