Seafood Linguine
Seafood Linguine {Recipe}
We make this delicious Seafood Linguine two or three times a year; almost always to mark a special occasion such as a birthday, Christmas or a family celebration. It isn’t difficult to make and we usually all gather in the kitchen with a glass of wine and everyone pitches in to help.
You can vary the seafood to suit your own tastes; we always have lobster, scallops and shrimp but will sometimes add crab meat and chunks of salmon or a white fish. Just put in a variety of seafood your family enjoys and it will be perfect!
A reader pointed out that I still had the shallots and garlic (along with the scallops) in the pan. Which is not as the recipe was written. She was just very sweetly asking for clarification.
To clarify, you are indeed supposed to move them to a bowl to avoid overcooking. Although when I took the picture above, I must have been a little lazy as I obviously hadn’t as yet moved them. I am so sorry for any confusion.
