Hey there, foodies! Get ready to elevate your afternoon with this absolutely divine seafood recipe that’ll make your taste buds dance! Trust me, as someone who’s tried countless seafood dishes, this one’s a total game-changer. Let me spill the tea on my Garlic Butter Seafood Medley that’ll have your family begging for seconds! 💁♀️
What You’ll Need:
– 1/2 lb jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 1/2 lb scallops
– 1/2 lb mussels, cleaned
– 4 tablespoons butter (honey, don’t even think about skimping!)
– 6 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/4 cup white wine (and maybe a little extra for the chef? 😉)
– Fresh parsley, chopped
– 1 lemon
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Red pepper flakes (if you’re feeling spicy!)
Let me walk you through this masterpiece, step by step:
1. First things first, pat those beautiful shellfish dry. Nobody likes soggy seafood, am I right?
1. In a large skillet (my favorite is cast iron), melt that butter until it’s bubbling and looking irresistible. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant – your kitchen will smell AMAZING!
1. Toss in those gorgeous scallops first, searing them for about 2 minutes each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside (resist the urge to sneak one… or don’t, I won’t tell! 🤫)
1. Add shrimp to the same pan, cooking until they turn that perfect pink color (about 2-3 minutes per side).
1. Pour in the white wine (chef’s kiss!), add the mussels, and cover the pan. Let these babies steam for about 3-4 minutes until they open up.
