May 11th Daily Recipe:CAPE COD PASTA WITH SCALLOPS

Cape Cod Pasta with Scallops


Ingredients:
5 ounces sea scallops
1/8 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup red bell pepper, cut in 1/4 inch pieces
1/4 cup zucchini, cut in 1/4 inch pieces
1/4 cup mushrooms, cut in 1/4 inch pieces
1/8 cup plum tomatoes, peeled, seeded, diced
1 tablespoon scallions, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
Pinch salt
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
6 ounces spinach linguine, cooked, cooled

In a heavy skillet, melt butter. Wash scallops and pat dry on paper towels. Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning and quickly sauté in butter until firm to touch (about 4 minutes). Add vegetables and sauté another 5 minutes. Season with salt, white pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and Parmesan cheese and toss lightly.

Stir in cooked spinach linguine and heat only long enough to warm entire mixture. Serve on a warmed dinner plate with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
