seafood scampi

How To Make seafood scampi

• Step 1
  Mince Garlic, Shallots and a tsp of extra virgin olive oil in a food processor.
• Step 2
  Coat bottom of large pot with olive oil and heat it on medium heat.
• Step 3
  Add the garlic and shallot mixture, saute until cooked, not browned but softened.
• Step 4
  Add Pinot Grigio to your liking, I used 5/8's of the bottle.
• Step 5
  Add mussels, clams and crabs. Cook until they begin to open approx. 8 mins.
• Step 6
  Add shrimp and scallops. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes to taste. Cook until shrimp is pink.
• Step 7
  When ready, pour into a large serving platter, sprinkle with minced parsley and 2 tbsps. of grated cheese (use more if you like but I leave it on the table to add when served with pasta)
• Step 8
  Bring a pot of salted water to boil prior to starting the seafood. When the mussels & clams open, add the pasta to the boiling water. This way the pasta will finish cooking at the same time your seafood is ready. I throw a little parsley, cheese and a ladle of broth from the seafood over the pasta before serving. Enjoy!
