Seafood Linguine
Ingredients
- 1 pound uncooked linguine
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup chopped green onions
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled
- 1 pound sea scallops
- 2 cups half and half
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 pound lump crab meat, shell pieces removed
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to package directions.
- While the pasta cooks, melt the butter in a 12 inch nonstick skillet over a medium high heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté for 1 minute or until tender. Add the shrimp and scallops and sauté for 3 minutes or until done. Reduce the heat to medium low. Add the next 4 ingredients; cook for about 3 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring constantly (do not boil). Sprinkle 1 cup of cheese over seafood mixture stirring constantly; cook for 1 minute; stirring constantly.
