Method

Preparation of Potatoes

  1. 1

    Roast the Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the cubed potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy, turning once halfway through.

Cooking the Seafood

  1. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the shrimp and Cajun seasoning. Cook until the shrimp turns pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  2. 3

    Cook the Scallops

    In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the sea scallops. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside with the shrimp.

  3. 4

    Sauté the Spinach and Mushrooms

    In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they are tender. Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Return the shrimp and scallops to the skillet and combine.

Making the Shellfish Cream Sauce

  1. 5

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small saucepan, combine the shellfish stock and heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Let it reduce slightly for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    To serve, place a generous portion of the sautéed seafood and vegetables on a plate. Top with roasted potatoes and drizzle with the shellfish cream sauce. Enjoy your Seafood Americana!
