Shrimp And Scallops With White Bean And Herb Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Drain the beans over a bowl and reserve the liquid. Put the white beans in a large skillet with just enough of their liquid to moisten them. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and bring the beans to a low simmer. Keep them warm while you prepare the shrimp.
• Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the shrimp, season with salt and cook for about 1 minute, tossing frequently. Remove the shrimp with tongs to a bowl. Add the garlic to the pan and saute until the garlic browns. Add the serrano chile or chili flakes and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomato and basil and stir briefly, then add the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 1 minute, and then stir in the shrimp. Toss well and cook briefly to reheat the shrimp. Remove the shrimp mixture to a plate and sprinkle with parsley.
• Spoon the white beans on a platter or individual plates. Drizzle them with the best olive oil you have, and then top with the shrimp. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan cook the onion and garlic in 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until the onion is soft. Add the wine and simmer the mixture until the wine is reduced by half. Add the parsley, basil, 1/2 cup of the beans and the chicken broth, simmer the mixture stirring for 1 minute, and in a blender puree it. In the saucepan stir together the puree, the remaining 1/2 cup beans, and salt and pepper to taste and simmer the mixture for 2 minutes.
• In a skillet, preferably non-stick, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it saute the shrimp, seasoned with salt and pepper, for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes on each side or until they are cooked through. Transfer the shrimp with a slotted spoon to a plate and keep them warm. To the skillet add the scallops and saute them, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until they are cooked through. Divide the bean sauce between 2 shallow bowls and arrange the shellfish over it.
