Description

Learn how to make the delicious and succulent Scallop Shrimp Butter recipe that will impress your dinner guests. Perfect for any seafood lover!


Ingredients

  • 1 lb (454 g) peeled and deveined shrimp or 1 lb (454 g) sea scallops, your choice
  • 3 tablespoon (45 ml) s vegetable oil
  • 1 small shallot, finely minced
  • 3 cloves garlic, mashed into a paste (or finely minced)
  • 2 tablespoon (30 ml) s fresh minced parsley, for garnish


Instructions

  1. Warm vegetable oil in a sizable frying pan over medium-high heat.
  2. When the oil starts to shimmer, introduce the mashed garlic and minced shallot, stirring for a minute or two until they become slightly tender.
  3. Add your choice of seafood: If using shrimp, cook for 2-3 minutes until they change to a pink hue.
  4. If opting for scallops, cook for 3-5 minutes until they become opaque.
  5. After the seafood is fully cooked, transfer it to a plate and cover it.
  6. Pour grape juice into the pan with the remaining oil and heat for one or two minutes.
  7. Drizzle the warm sauce over the seafood, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve.

Notes

  • Make sure to devein the shrimp thoroughly before cooking to prevent any gritty texture.
  • Enhance the flavor by using white instead of grape juice in the sauce.
  • Finish the dish with a drizzle of fresh lemon juice for a refreshing citrus touch.
