Scallops and Shrimp bake



Well I guess I should call it Imitation crab and shrimp bake.
we didn't have any scallops and a little of the imitation crab left so we used that instead. It was good but I bet with the scallops it would have been really good.
This was really fast and easy to do something we are looking for in this heat.

1/2 lb sea scallops( I bet the bay would be better they are sweeter just my opinion.)
1/2 lb shrimp pealed.
1/2 chicken or vegetable stock.
1/2 cup white wine
3 Tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic chopped
3 Tablespoons onion or one shallot chopped
1 lemon calls or Meyer but we used regular.
1 Tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 Tablespoon chopped Italian parsley
8 oz linguini (we only had spagetti
salt and pepper to taste
3/4 cup crumbled feta.
red pepper to taste (optional)

Saute in skillet onions and garlic over med heat. Then add stock,wine,lemon juice,parsley and cilantro. Bring to boil.
Add sea scallops first if using. then shrimp a couple minutes later.
If using shrimp and fake crab add together and cook till shrimp turn pink. Do not over cook or shrimp will be like rubber.
Salt qand pepper to taste we also threw in some red pepper
Pour in to a casserole dish (we used a small one)
Crumble feta over top and place in oven on broil for about 5 minutes or till cheese is browned.

Shrimp,Crab, Squash Pasta


We had some left over imitation crab meat and was looking for something to cook with it but we didn't have quite enough for any of the recipes we had. So we just kind of threw this together with some stuff we had left over and it turned out pretty good.

Pasta for two cooked and drained. (We really had enough for my honey to have for lunch the next day)
1/4 cup onion diced
1 one stalk celery diced
a few mushrooms sliced
1 or 2 squash (one per person if small or one larger sliced or cubed)
one or two cloves garlic we use 2 because we like garlic
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes more or less per your preference
1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary ( we have a bush out side the kitchen but you can use dried)
2 sweet basil leaves if small or one large( our basil plant is growing like gangbusters we have got to use more)
salt and pepper to taste
one tomato
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese with extra for topping
about 1/2 pack of imitation crab meat
about 12 medium shrimp
a little water about 1 Tablespoon
1 Tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon butter

Combine oil and butter in large skillet on med high heat. When hot add onion,celery,mushrooms and squash. Kinda stir fry for a few minutes till squash is starting to get tender about 5 to 8 minutes.
Add 1 Tablespoons water and the garlic and cook till squash is tender.
Add chopped tomato, red pepper flakes,rosemary,basil.
Add 1 cup cream and 1/2 cup water stir and bring to a boil. then reduce to a simmer to thicken.
Add salt and pepper to taste
Last add shrimp and crab after pasta has been cooked and drained.
Add pasta to sauce after shrimp have cooked (turned pink) if cooked to long shrimp will be rubbery.
Heat till warm serve immediately and top with Parmesan cheese.

Imitation Crab Salad




I know I have been bad and not posting much lately but I have been out of town a lot and we have not had that many great dishes or we have been remaking some of the ones we liked. My wife and I both like the seafood and crab at Subway so we found one near it on Zaar and tweaked it some.
For 2
8 oz imitation crab
1 tablespoon chopped red onion
1 tablespoon chopped celery
1 teaspoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
½ teaspoon soy sauce
dash Worcestershire sauce
¼ cup mayonnaise
salt and pepper to taste
dash of old bay to taste or Greek seasonings
Mix crab with lemon juice add onion,celery,vinegar,soy sauce, Worcestershire stir till mixed
add mayonnaise and salt and pepper and old bay or Greek seasonings to taste. Serve or refrigerate.
This was good still not quite like Subways but since the closest one is about 20 miles away this will have to do.
