Bret's Mediterranean Seafood and Pasta

This started out as a shrimp scampi recipe. It has since morphed into just a great seafood sauce with which you can use any shellfish you like. I have used shrimp, small lobster and scallops.

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

In a large pot, fill to 3/4 with water. Add 1 Tbsp. salt. Bring to a boil.

* Step 2

Add spaghetti/linguini and boil until al dente per the instructions.

* Step 3

In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat.

* Step 4

Sauté the shallots, garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using, just a couple of shakes) until the shallots are translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes.

* Step 5

Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add them to the pan and cook until they have turned pink, about 2 to 3 minutes.

* Step 6

Remove the shrimp from the pan; set aside in a bowl. Keep warm if possible. Not a big deal.

* Step 7

Add wine and lemon juice and bring to a boil. Reduce down by 1/2.

* Step 8

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil. When the butter has melted, return the shrimp to the pan along with the parsley and cooked pasta.
