How to cook seafood pasta
Preparing creamy pasta with seafood is a straightforward and enjoyable process that typically takes 20 to 30 minutes. This dish primarily consists of pasta combined with a garlic sauce and a variety of seafood options, including shrimp, scallops, mussels, and clams. While fish can also be added, it is advisable to include it later in the cooking process to avoid it breaking apart during mixing. This dish is not only quick to prepare but also widely appreciated by seafood enthusiasts due to its rich flavor and ease of preparation.
To prepare this exquisite seafood pasta dish, one must begin by cooking the pasta according to the instructions provided on the packaging. Once the pasta has reached the desired level of doneness, the subsequent step involves sautéing the seafood with onions. Following this, a rich white creamy sauce is prepared using butter, all-purpose flour, and milk.
It is important to note that the seafood typically requires only a few minutes to cook thoroughly. Once both the sauce and the seafood are ready, they should be combined and poured over the cooked pasta. Thus, the delectable Amber Special seafood pasta is complete.
Ingredients
- 1 pound linguine (cooked according to package instructions)
- 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 16 mussels (cleaned)
- 13 clams (cleaned)
- Half-pound bay scallops
- Half cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 small yellow onion (minced)
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Half cup dry white wine
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup fresh milk
- ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions :
- To prepare the linguine, follow the cooking instructions provided on the packaging and then plate it on a serving dish.
- For the white sauce, start by melting butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, incorporate flour and continue to cook for approximately one minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Gradually add milk to the mixture while continuing to stir until a smooth and creamy sauce consistency is achieved.
- When you’re ready, set the sauce aside confidently. Next, heat olive oil in a pan. Sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant. Then, add the shrimp and bay scallops to the mixture and cook for a solid 2 minutes.
- Add mussels and clams to the mixture and let them cook for 3 more minutes. Then, bring in a bit of white wine and allow it to heat until it reaches a boil. When the mixture reaches that perfect bubbling point, pour in the white sauce and stir with passion.
- Sprinkle in some parmesan cheese and let it cook for another minute. For the topping, put the seafood and white sauce mix over the linguine and add a bit of chopped parsley for that nice touch. And there you have it! Your creamy pasta is all set to dig into!
