Shrimp, Scallops, and Corn Relish

I said to my husband today, "If we were rich enough, I'd go buy shrimp and scallops or any seafood every other day." I love seafood. I especially love shrimp and scallops. I know a lot of people don't like the taste or texture of them, but I love them! This recipe is very simple and packed with simple yet great flavors. The corn relish was fantastic with the seafood, too!

Make sure not to overcook the scallops. They tend to get rubbery when they are overcooked. And I will be honest. Rubbery scallops are gross. Cook about 5-6 minutes, or until they are white.

Shrimp, Scallops, and Corn Relish
Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

1 1/2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon fish sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon minced or finely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon minced Jalapeno pepper (seeded)
1 pound shrimp, deveined medium size
1 pound scallops
1 cup frozen corn (or fresh corn kernels)
1/3 cup chopped cilantro leaves
Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:

Combine the first three ingredients: set aside
Heat a large pan over high heat. Add oil to the pan and coat the pan. Add garlic and Jalapeno to pan; stir fry 30 seconds or just until the garlic turns brown. Add shrimp and stir-fry about 2-3 minutes and add the scallops and stir. Add corn and stir-fry for about 5 minutes, or until the scallops are cooked through. (Do not overcook!) Stir in the juice mixture and sprinkle with cilantro leaves.

  5. Shrimp, scallops, and fish are probably my three favorite seafoods. Your dish looks amazing! I think I've told you before, but I also love corn, so I'm totally sold on the corn relish :)

  8. I agree; if I were rich I'd eat good/fresh seafood 24/7. It's a bummer in MN, because you can only find the really good stuff for a really high price. That's why when I travel, I usually obtain a seafood diet ;-)

  18. I love the corn relish with this and I bet the jalapeno really pairs well with the buttery texture of the scallops, giving it a great flavor. Fun recipe!
