Ingredients
-
Seafood Mix (250g): A combination of shrimp, scallops, and mussels (fresh or frozen)
-
Mushrooms (200g): Shiitake, cremini, or button mushrooms
-
Garlic (3 cloves): Minced
-
Olive Oil (2 tbsp)
-
Butter (2 tbsp)
-
Lemon (1): Freshly squeezed juice
-
White Wine (1/2 cup): Dry white wine (e.g., Sauvignon Blanc)
-
Heavy Cream (1/2 cup)
-
Fresh Parsley (for garnish): Chopped
Instructions
-
Prepare the Ingredients: Mince the garlic and slice the mushrooms. If you’re using frozen seafood, thaw and pat it dry to avoid excess moisture.
-
Sauté the Garlic and Mushrooms: Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
-
Add the Seafood: Add the seafood mix to the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. The shrimp should turn pink, and the scallops should have a golden crust.
-
Deglaze with Wine: Pour in the white wine and stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
-
Add Cream and Butter: Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and butter. Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy.
-
Finish with Lemon Juice and Parsley: Squeeze in fresh lemon juice, stir, and garnish with chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Notes
-
For a richer flavor, use lobster or crab instead of seafood mix.
-
Substitute heavy cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
-
If you like a bit of heat, add red pepper flakes when sautéing the garlic.
