Shrimp & Scallops in a Creamy White Wine Sauce

I've been experimenting with sauces lately. Trying to come up with a super yummy sauce that uses white wine as a dominant flavor. I think I got it with this. This sauce really compliments the flavors of the shrimp, scallops and fresh corn! And, bonus, this dish is ready in about 30 minutes!

How To Make It

  • 1/2 lb. of shrimp

  • 1/2 lb. of scallops

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh shallots

  • 1 cup dry white wine

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • juice of 1/2 fresh lemon

  • Salt to taste

  • 1/4 cup fresh corn

  • 1/4 cup fresh chopped tomato

  • 1 teaspoon fresh oregano, minced (plus a piece for garnish)

  • 2 large zucchini, spiralized

Sprinkle the shrimp and scallops with salt and then sauté them in olive oil until the shrimp is pink and scallops whiten and just start to brown, about 2 1/2 minutes per side. Be sure to use a sauté pan that's the right size to allow the shrimp and scallops to lay in a single layer in the pan. Once cooked, remove from pan and set aside on a plate. Cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. Sauté the shallots in the same pan until soft and a little browned, just a few minutes should do it. Add wine and stir until the pan is deglazed, about a minute. Add cream, lemon juice and salt. Increase heat to medium high and let the sauce boil (stirring often) until it reduces to a little thicker than you would like (about 10 minutes), because next you will add the corn and tomato and this will add some liquid to the sauce. Reduce heat to medium, then add corn, tomato and fresh oregano and cook about 7 more minutes (add shrimp and scallops back in a couple of minutes before this part is done). While you're cooking, zap the zucchini noodles for 3 minutes on high in the microwave. Dry them with a paper towel or kitchen towel to reduce moisture. Toss with the shrimp and scallops mixture and serve for a delicious, fresh meal in less than 30 minutes!
