Pesto turns shrimp and scallops into superstars in this fresh-flavored entree from Marnie Franze. "The recipe is from my dad," she comments from Battle Lake, Minnesota.
1/2 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup white wine or chicken broth
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 pound fresh sea scallops
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
For pesto, place 1/4 cup oil, basil, oregano, parsley and one garlic clove in a blender or food processor. Cover and process until smooth; set aside. Mince the remaining garlic. Cook pasta according to package directions.
Meanwhile, in a nonstick skillet, saute onions and minced garlic in butter and remaining oil until tender. Add the shrimp, wine or broth, lemon juice and cayenne; saute for 2 minutes. Add scallops; saute for 2 minutes or until shrimp turn pink and scallops are firm and opaque. Drain pasta; toss with pesto and Parmesan. Top with seafood mixture.

Thumbs up! Have my own pesto recipe so I could skip that part since it was already made and frozen.I also added and cooked with the shrimp and scallops some sun dried tomatoes, an orange bell pepper, and mushrooms.Worked out very well that way as an all in one recipe.
