05-Shrimp or Sea Scallop Scampi

I prefer big sea scallops over shrimp just because you don’t have to clean out a dirty vein with the juicy scallops. Be careful not to over cook the scallops just cook them until the opacity disappears on both sides. I find it better that the are underdone than over. If their fresh, there shouldn’t be a bit health concern when they are underdone.
I’ve been look for a substitute greek seasoning but haven’t found one that compares to Cavender’s.

serves 3-4

+ 8 Tbs butter (113 g)
+ 1 large onion, diced
+ 4 cloves garlic, minced
+ 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
+ 1 Tbs fresh lemon juice
+ 1/2 tsp garlic powder
+ 1 tsp salt
+ 1 tsp pepper
+ 1 tsp “Cavender’s” All Purpose Greek Seasoning
+ 1.5 lbs (450-650 g) large peeled + deveined raw shrimp (or scallops)
+ 1 tsp parsley

  1. Saute onion and garlic in butter, then add seasoning (lemon juice, Worcestershire Sauce, garlic powder, salt, pepper, Greek Seasoning)
  2. Add Shrimp, simmer both sides of shrimp until they are done, don’t let them curl too much, a nice ‘C’ shape is a good measure for doneness (if using scallops, simmer in one layer for about 2 mins on each sides over medium high heat)
  3. Serve over linguine.
