Ingredients

  • – 1 lb (454 g) beef spaghetti or fettuccine
  • – 1/2 lb (227 g) scallops
  • – 1 lb (454 g) large shrimp, deveined and shell removed
  • – 6 tablespoons (90 ml) vegetable oil
  • – 2 cups (480 ml) coconut milk
  • – 1 cup (100 g) grated vegan cheese
  • – 3 tablespoons (45 ml) olive oil
  • – 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) minced garlic
  • – salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Prepare the beef spaghetti or fettuccine following the directions on the package. Once done, put it aside.
  2. Warm the vegetable oil in a skillet. When it’s hot, sauté the shrimp for one minute on each side. Take the shrimp out of the skillet and reserve them.
  3. Cook the scallops over medium heat for two minutes on each side. Remove them from the skillet along with any liquids released.
  4. In the same skillet, heat the olive oil and cook the minced garlic until it becomes light brown.
  5. Add the coconut milk to the skillet and stir. Let it simmer on low to medium heat for around five minutes.
  6. Return the shrimp and scallops to the skillet. Mix and let them cook for an additional three minutes.
  7. Sprinkle the grated vegan cheese over the mixture, then turn off the heat. Season with salt and pepper if necessary. Stir everything together.
  8. Pour the sauce over the cooked spaghetti or fettuccine, or combine the pasta with the sauce in the skillet and toss to coat.
  9. Serve the dish immediately. Enjoy and share with others!

Notes

  • For a more indulgent taste, opt for full-fat coconut milk over the light version.
  • Ensure the shrimp is properly deveined to prevent any gritty texture in the dish.
  • Adjust the vegan cheese amount to your liking and consider adding fresh herbs like parsley or basil for a burst of freshness.
