Wow

I still have not figured out how to cook for one, so the portion is about twice as large as it should be, AND, I have enough left over fresh, uncooked vegetables, shrimp and scallops to make it again!

Recipe is as follows:

Melt about 3 Tbsp of butter in a sauce pan, throw in some chopped garlic, and after the butter simmers for a few minutes, throw in a quarter cup of heavy cream or half & half and a a few tbsp of dry sake. Bring to a simmer, then add a few tbsp of sliced red onion or shallots, depending on your preference (I used red onions as I did not have any shallots.

Chop a half cup of yellow and orange bell peppers, slice a half cup of crimini mushrooms, cut two-inch lengths of asparagus, and save leftover red onions that you didn't use in the sauce. Fry up the veggies over medium-high heat with a little bit of olive oil.

Season with salt and pepper about a minute before removing the veggies from the heat and place the veggies in a small bowl for later.

Return the pan to the heat, use a little olive oil, and sear each side of the shrimp for a couple minutes. At the same time, place the scallops in the pan, but cook them for a few minutes per side. Shred some fresh asiago cheese, about an 1/8 cup, and place in cream sauce. Once the shrimp and scallops are cooked, pull them out and wipe down the pan.

Return the veggies, shrimp and scallops to the pan along with the cream sauce for about a minute, then pour over a pasta of your choosing. In this case, I used rigatoni, which I do not recommend after this meal. It was good, but not quite right. Maybe a good penne or an angel hair would have been more appropriate.

Enjoy!
