Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to turn pink. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

  4. In the same skillet, add the scallops and sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are lightly browned. Remove the scallops and set aside.

  5. Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

  6. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken or seafood broth, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

  7. Return the shrimp and scallops to the skillet and let them simmer in the sauce for an additional 5-7 minutes until they are cooked through.

  8. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary with more salt and pepper.

  9. Serve the shrimp and scallop pasta sauce over cooked pasta of your choice, such as linguine or fettuccine.

  10. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
