This is the only meal I made that I took photos of. I'm pretty sure I wrote the recipe down somewhere, so... let me find it and try to remember how to upload pictures in the first place.
Appetizer. Prociuttio wrapped asparagus and button mushrooms drizzled in a wasabi balsamic glaze and garlic sauce thing. I can't remember how I did this exactly. Baked it? Whatever. It's not that difficult, and i'm sure you're smart enough to figure this one out.
Main course. Here's the recipe I have saved on my computer for this. I'm pretty sure this is almost exactly what I did, although I'm not 100% sure. This was in the summertime and my memory is that of a fish. Sounds pretty correct though.
Shrimp and Scallops in a Lemon Butter sauce
Fresh, large scallops (as many as you want)
Fresh large shrimp, deveined, with tail on (as many as you want)
Zest of one lemon
1 tbsp olive oil
3-4 basil leaves, chopped (divided)
1 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
Juice of one lemon
Sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
Combine the first four ingredients plus a bit of chopped basil and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Season the scallops and shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat the last teaspoon of olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium high heat, when the skillet is hot add the scallops and cook for about 2 minutes then turn over. Add the shrimp and lemon juice to the pan and cook for about 2 minutes or until the shrimp is pink and tender and the scallops are golden brown. Serve immediately and enjoy.
I'd give credit to whoever I ... 'borrowed' this recipe from, but again... summertime. Sorry!
