Description:

This delightful seafood pasta recipe holds a special place in our hearts, especially when hosting guests. Dedicated to my dear friend and pastor, Jack, whose appetite for this dish is legendary! Jack’s love for this pasta knows no bounds; he’d devour three out of four portions and then ingeniously use bread to mop up every last bit of sauce. Trust me, if it wins over Jack, it’s sure to captivate your taste buds too! 🤣 I recommend using thin pasta varieties like spaghetti, linguine, or occasionally fettuccine for this recipe.

Instructions:

Prepare the Sauce:
- In a skillet, combine the dry white wine, chicken stock, chopped shallots, minced garlic, diced tomato, tomato paste, and powdered saffron.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and let it cook for approximately 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Cook the Seafood:
- Add the shrimp and scallops to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce.
- Cover the skillet and let the seafood simmer for about 3 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and the fish and scallops become opaque.
Set Aside the Seafood:
- Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the cooked fish and seafood from the skillet and transfer them to a bowl.
- Keep the seafood warm while you prepare the sauce.
Thicken the Sauce:
- Dissolve the cornstarch in 1 tablespoon of heavy cream, creating a smooth slurry.
- Add the slurry to the skillet along with the remaining heavy cream.
- Cook the mixture, stirring continuously, until it reaches a gentle boil and thickens to your desired consistency.
Combine and Season:
- Return the cooked fish and seafood to the skillet, stirring gently to coat them evenly with the creamy sauce.
