Shrimp & Scallop Fettuccine
Celebrate a couple of the ocean’s most popular catches by serving them on a bed of pasta in a light white wine sauce.
Shrimp and scallops are some of the quickest-cooking proteins around, and with a little attention and the right amount of seasoning, achieving perfection couldn’t be simpler.
For the scallops, quality starts with what you buy. If possible, buy dry-packed scallops. Wet-packed scallops have been treated with phosphates, which can make them watery. When cooking them, make sure the pan is hot so you get a good sear — caramelizing the surface brings out their natural sweetness. Don’t cook them through right away though — they’ll simmer in the sauce to finish cooking.
And don’t rinse the cooked fettuccine. Rinsing removes starches that help sauce cling to the pasta.
