Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté Seafood

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp and scallops, cooking until they are just opaque, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the seafood from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare Sauce

    In the same skillet, carefully add the tequila and lime juice. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 3-4 minutes, reducing slightly. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Season with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Combine and Serve

    Return the sautéed shrimp and scallops to the skillet. Stir gently to coat the seafood in the sauce and heat through for another 2-3 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
