Seafood Fettuccine

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package dry fettuccine noodles
1 1/2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 cup chopped green onions
4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 pound medium shrimp - peeled and deveined
1 pound sea scallops
2 cups half-and-half cream
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional)

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
Melt butter in a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in onions and garlic, and cook for 1 minute. Add shrimp and scallops, stirring to combine, and cook 3 minutes more. Reduce heat to medium-low.
Pour half-and-half, salt, and pepper into the pan and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Do not boil. Gradually sprinkle 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese over seafood mixture and continue stirring another minute. Remove from heat.
Toss cooked pasta into the pan, coating thoroughly. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese, and serve.

Notes:

If the sauce is too thin for your liking, add a bit of cornstarch until it is the right consistency for you. If using frozen seafood, be sure to thaw and drain it completely before adding to the skillet to prevent the excess water from diluting the sauce.

Oven Baked Fish Chowder

2 pounds cod, haddock or any firm white fish, bones removed
3 cups cubed russet potatoes
2 cups hot fish stock or water
1 1/2 cups chopped celery
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 bay leaf
1 garlic clove, minced
Pinch of ground cloves
1 cup milk or light cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Combine all ingredients except milk and parsley in 4-quart ovenproof casserole. Cover and bake until fish flakes into pieces and potatoes are tender, about 1 hour.
Transfer casserole to stove-top. Slowly stir in milk. Simmer gently over low heat until rewarmed, about 5 minutes. Add parsley. Serve immediately.

Shrimp Cocktail Sauce

1 1/2 cups of ketchup
1 1/2 tablespoons horseradish
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 squeeze of hot sauce
pinch of salt and pepper
Combine the Shrimp Cocktail Sauce Ingredients
In a blender or mixer, pour in 1 1/2 cups of ketchup. Next, add 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 1/2 tablespoons of horseradish, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of sugar.

On a cutting board, roll a lemon to help get the juices flowing. Cut the lemon in half, and squeeze one piece over the blender. If you hold it with the cut side up, you can help prevent the seeds from falling into the sauce.

Then add the hot sauce and the salt and pepper. Remember, you can always add more hot sauce or salt and pepper if you would like.
Blend the Shrimp Cocktail Sauce Ingredients
Put the lid on the blender. Turn the blender on, and blend on low. You can see how fast the blender mixes it all up.

Use a spatula to scrape the sides of the blender, and then turn it on one more time. Once the mixture becomes very thick, turn off the blender and pour the sauce into a serving bowl.
Serve the Shrimp Cocktails
I am pouring the cocktail sauce into a candy dish to make a fancier presentation. Use cooked and shelled jumbo shrimp with the tails still on.

Hang the shrimp on the side of the bowl. Place it all on a few pieces of lettuce for a beautiful serving platter.

It's just not Chinese take out without an order of crab Rangoon.

1 brick (8 oz) Regular Cream Cheese, at room temperature
2 oz crab meat or 2 sticks imitation crab meat (finely diced)
1 TBS finely minced chives
1 TBS powdered sugar
Pinch of salt
20 wonton wrappers
Oil, for deep frying

Mix all the cream cheese, crab meat, chives, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Stir to blend well.

Place about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese filling in the middle of a wonton wrapper.

Fold the two ends of the wonton wrapper together.

Fold the other two ends to make a tiny parcel. Pinch to seal tight and make sure that there is no leakage. Use a little water to help sealing if needed.

Heat up a pot of oil for deep-frying and fry the crab Rangoon until golden brown. Dish out with a strainer or slotted spoon, draining the excess oil by laying the crab Rangoon on a dish lined with paper towels. Let the crab Rangoon cools down a bit before serving them with sweet and sour sauce.
