Sundried Tomato Cream Sauce

Rice

Method

Cooking Rice

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    In a medium pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of long-grain white rice and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Stir, cover, and reduce heat to low. Let it simmer for about 18 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes.

Sundried Tomato Cream Sauce

  1. 2

    Sauté Garlic and Sundried Tomatoes

    In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in 1 cup of chopped sundried tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes.

  2. 3

    Add Cream and Parmesan

    Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and mix until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and stir in 0.5 cup of chopped fresh basil.

Cooking Seafood

  1. 4

    Sauté Shrimp and Scallops

    In a large skillet, heat a little more olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the 1 pound of shrimp and 1 pound of scallops to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are opaque and cooked through.

  2. 5

    Combine with Sauce

    Once the seafood is cooked, pour the sundried tomato cream sauce over the shrimp and scallops in the skillet. Stir gently to combine and heat through for another 2 minutes.

Plating

  1. 6

    Serve the Dish

    Fluff the rice with a fork and place a generous portion on each plate. Top with the sautéed shrimp and scallops coated in the sundried tomato cream sauce. Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
