Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tbsp olive oil
250 g (½lb) shrimp / prawns (peeled and deveined)
150 g (5oz) mussel meat ((approximately 500g with shells) )
150 g (5oz) calamari tubes / squid heads
2 tbsp butter
4 garlic cloves (crushed)
½ tsp chilli flakes
½ cup white wine
1-2 tsp lemon juice
1 cup cream
salt and pepper (to taste )
½ cup parsley (finely chopped)
500 g (1lb) pasta (cooked + 1 cup cooking water reserved)

Steps:

  • In a large pan, add a splash of oil and allow to heat up.
  • Season the seafood with salt and pepper then cook in batches until golden brown.
  • The shrimp/prawns should take no more than a minute per side (depending on size) and the calamari and mussels will take only a few minutes to cook. Take care not to overcook the seafood as they will go tough and rubbery. Rather undercook slightly as it will cook a little more while being tossed with the sauce and pasta.
  • Remove the seafood from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, melt the butter and add the garlic and chilli flakes. Cook until fragrant then pour in the lemon juice and wine.
  • Bring to a simmer and allow to reduce by half.
  • Pour in the cream and allow to come to a simmer. Allow to cook for 5 minutes or until the sauce coats the back of a spoon.
  • Add the seafood (and any of its resting juices) and parsley and stir to combine.
  • Toss the sauce with cooked pasta and a splash of the pasta cooking water and toss to coat the pasta. Serve sprinkled with parsley.

CILANTRO CREAM SAUCE



Cilantro Cream Sauce image

Our local television station here in Houston has a segment on Sundays that airs local restaurants and it's recipes. I have been waiting and waiting for this one! This Cilantro Cream Sauce is served over Chicken Enchiladas and they are to die for in my opinion. This cream sauce is absolutely evil :) It's a very very rich sauce and should be avoided by all dieters! I made this and poured it over some chicken enchiladas which came out great but now I'm thinking of a pasta dish and substituting the alfredo sauce with this one. The possiblities are endless with this recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
