About
These deliciously rich, buttery scallops and shrimps are an excellent indulgent dinner when paired with a simple green salad, steamed broccoli or green beans.
The serving is for 2 as a main, however these would make great smaller portions for a dinner party starter.
This recipe calls for small ready to cook scallops and pre-cooked shrimp to minimise your prep time!
Ingredients
- 5 ounce scallops by asda
- 3 ½ ounce jumbo shrimp by publix
- 2 ½ tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoon chives
- 1 tablespoon lemon peel raw
- 0.2 teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Pat the shrimp and scallops dry with a clean paper towel.
- Heat the butter in a frying pan over a moderate heat, add the jumbo shrimp and cook for 2 minutes.
- Turn the shrimp over, add in the scallops and season with a little salt and pepper. Sautee for a further 2-3 minutes, turning halfway through, until all is completely cooked through and the scallops are opaque.
- Remove the prawns and scallops from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the lemon zest and chives to the butter, stir through briefly to warm.
- Pour the butter over the seafood to serve.
