1452.0. "SEAFOOD/WINE/LINGUINE" by NRADM::THIBODEAU () Thu Oct 20 1988 16:10

    Easy Seafood & White Wine Over Linguine
    ---------------------------------------
    1 Lb. Medium Shrimp
    1 Lb. Sea Scallops
    1 Lb. Solid White Fish (Haddock, etc.)
    1 Lb. Package of Langostinos or Lobster Meat
    1 Large Oven Roasting Bag
    2 Medium Cloves of Fresh Garlic (Crushed)
    1 Small Shallot (Finely Chopped)
    1 Tsp. White Pepper
    1 Tsp. Cayenne Pepper
    1/2 Stick Butter or 1/4 Cup Olive Oil
    1 Tbs. Salt (optional)
    2 Tbs. Parsley
    1 Tsp. Tarragon
    1 Tsp. Basil
    1 Tsp. Oregano
    1/8 cup lemon juice (preferably fresh)
    1 Cup Dry White Wine - Try to use a drinking wine, not a cooking
    			   wine - the flavor is better
    2 Lbs. Fresh Linguine
    
    
    Preheat Oven to 350 degrees.
    Shell the shrimp.
    Cut the white fish into sizeable chunks.
    Put absolutely everything in the oven bag and cook approx. 20 Minutes
    or until the scallops and shrimp appear to be done.
    Boil the pasta al dente.
    Pour the seafood and ingredients into a large bowl to mix well,
    then serve over pasta - altogether probably 40 minutes between prep
    and cooking - but tastes like you slaved all day.
    
    I usually serve this with garlic bread topped with parmesan cheese
    and a veggie salad made out of cukes, zucchini, and red onion topped with
    feta and a lemon/olive oil dressing.

1452.1You can also use FettuciniWITNES::MACONEDon't litter. . . . SPAYFri Oct 21 1988 16:1415
    I'll have to try this.  Sounds delicious.  
    
    Now for my seafood and linguini dish. . . 
    
    I sautee my seafood in butter and olive oil.  Add whatever spices
    suit my fancy for the day, and then pour a jar of Trios tomato sauce
    in.  Then serve over linguini.  This takes about 20 minutes -- mostly
    waiting for the linguini water to boil!  
    
    Only if I want to take the extra time do I make the salad and garlic
    bread ;-}

1452.34 HEALTHY EATERSNRADM::THIBODEAUWed Oct 26 1988 15:2410
    You could possibly serve 4 moderately healthy eaters (thinking
    about all 4 wanting a moderately sized "seconds")  with this recipe, 
    garlic bread, and salad.
    
    And yes to comment on .1 - I have tried fettucine - even the fresh
    carrot and hot pepper fettucine in the gourmet counter is
    wonderful with this stuff.

1452.4serves four?SALEM::MEDVECKYFri Oct 28 1988 12:3411
    ...When I buy scallops for myself and the wife, 1 lb is really a
    lot....this recipe calls for a lb of scallops, shrimp, fish, and
    lobster/langostinos....plus 2 POUNDS of fetticine.....
    
    At my house this would serve about 12 people....who are the four
    you feed with moderate appetites....the four linebackers from the
    Chicago Bears?

1452.9how does it cook?SALEM::MEDVECKYMon Oct 31 1988 12:3112
    re.6...Karen....I havent cooked fresh pasta in years....I really
    dont remember exactly how it cooks....I do know when I cook
    the packaged stuff at home I always make enough for more people
    than are at the table....
    
    Yea, 12 sounds about right....BTW, the recipe sounds absolutely
    great....being a seafood/pasta lover....Now if I can only scale
    it down....or get a bunch of friends who love seafood...Ill be
    in business....

1452.10FRESH PASTA AND HELLOESOCTS::THIBODEAUThu Nov 03 1988 08:1818
    1stly - I'm not insulted or bent out of shape about the comments
    here - so let's just converse on this one.
    
    The nice thing about fresh pasta is that it takes very little time
    to cook - roughly 5-7 minutes once the water boils - you should
    however, check for doneness in 3 minutes and go from there, as it
    will be somewhat mushy if overdone. Also, fresh pasta does expand
    somewhat.
    
    
    My suggestion on trying my dish for the first time is to buy 
    a 1/2 lb of each seafood and 1 lb of pasta and make it for yourself
    and 2 other folks as an experiment. Then you can judge how much/or
    how little this would satisfy guests for dinner. Everyone has their
    own ideas of good portions for them.

1452.11bagsSALEM::MEDVECKYThu Nov 03 1988 12:074
    are those oven bags the clear plastic type bags?  I presume they
    are since they have to hold liquid....
    
    
1452.12THE BagsNRADM::THIBODEAUFri Nov 04 1988 08:119
    The oven bags are the same ones that you would use to roast a chicken
    or beef. The best that I have used are made by "Reynolds". The only
    thing I suggest not to do is make any holes in the bags. For
    roasting, they usually recommend that you punch some small holes
    so that the bag does not burst - however, with this recipe - I have
    never done that.
