Made this for dinner tonight. Went to add the white wine to the sauce, didn't have any? So, I improvised with a bit of vodka and it reduced beautifully and the sauce was wonderful. Ingredients:
2 packages of frozen defrosted chopped spinach |
24 large shimp (15-24 ct) peeled deveined |
under 20 ct scallops 3 each person |
8 strips of bacon, partially cooked |
salt and pepper |
1 stick of butter divided use |
1 small onion minced |
1 clove of garlic minced |
juice from five limes |
1/2 cup of vodka |
big squeeze of honey |
Directions:
1. Squeeze spinach dry, reserve.
2. Skewer shimp.
3. Skewer scallops with bacon pieces in between.
4. In a small sauce pan, heat 1 tablespoon of butter, add onion and garlic, saute briefly.
5. Add lime juice, vodka, and honey.
6. Reduce over high heat until syrupy and nearly evaporated.
7. Whisk in 4 tablespoons of butter.
8. Reserve.
9. Quickly heat spinach in remaining butter.
10. Season spinach with some salt/pepper and a scrape of nutmeg.
11. Grill over medium heat the scallops and shrimp basting often with sauce until just done and not dried up or over cooked. About 4 minutes one side, two minutes other side.
12. Put the spinach in the middle of the platter, top with scallops and bacon
13. Serve shrimp alongside.
14. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the top.
