Shrimp and Scallops with White Wine, Garlic and Butter Sauce

I got this idea a while back when there was left over Chadonnay, Garlic butter/spread and shrimp at a friends BBQ. I improvised by using the pan that belonged to the chalet. It was a hit. After that, I get requests to do this at a bbq, but now I bring my own pan, herbs etc...
Shrimp and Scallops with White Wine, Garlic and Butter Sauce
 Here is what I did for my most recent rendition at home.

300 grams tiger prawns - peeled and deveined
6 scallops
4 cloves garlic - sliced
2 sprigs of thyme
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup chicken stock (optional)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:
1. In a saute pan, heat some cooking oil over a medium heat. When oil is heated, add in the shrimp and scallops and fry for about 20 seconds each side. Remove them from the pan and set aside.

2. Add the garlic into the pan and cook for about 1 minute, till they just start to brown on the edges.(Add a little more oil if pan is too dry)

3. At this point add in the wine and deglaze the pan. (Using a spatula something similar, scrape the brown bits off the base of the pan) Allow to simmer for about 1 minute and then add the chicken stock. Simmer for another 2 minutes over low heat, or so, allow the liquid to reduce by about 1/3.

4. Then add butter and thyme. Mix well and simmer for another minute.

5. Add in the shrimp and scallops, turn off the heat and mix well. Serve in the deep sided dish.

Recommend to serve with crusty bread, to mop up the sauce.

Its actually very easy to do. Just have to watch out, not to over cook the seafood.

Enjoy!

  2. Barley and rice wine are prepared from the starch based materials and resemble beer and spirit more than wine and ginger wine is fortified with brandy.best wine clubs

  3. You can hope to spend from $60 to $100 to get one of the electric wine chillers for single container, in light of the qualities you pick. Yet, the non-electric sorts will be more affordable and can cost $25 or less.
