Method

Roasted Potatoes

  1. 1

    Prepare and Roast the Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Spread them out evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and tender, flipping halfway through.

Sautéed Spinach and Seafood

  1. 2

    Sauté the Spinach

    In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the spinach from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 3

    Cook the Shrimp and Scallops

    In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the shrimp and scallops. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they're cooked through and opaque. Remove them from the skillet and set aside with the spinach.

Prepare the Sauce

  1. 4

    Make the White Wine Sauce

    In the same skillet, pour in the white wine and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow it to reduce by half, about 5-7 minutes. Return the shrimp, scallops, and sautéed spinach to the skillet, toss to coat in the sauce, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Serve

  1. 5

    Plate and Enjoy

    Serve the spicy garlic shrimp and scallops over the roasted potatoes. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the top and enjoy your meal!
