For seafood and wine enthusiasts, pairing a flavorful dish with the right wine can elevate the dining experience. Lemon-infused seafood pasta is an ideal choice for those who enjoy the crisp, citrusy notes of Sauvignon Blanc. This dish combines fresh seafood, zesty lemon, and al dente pasta to create a light yet satisfying meal.
Ingredients
- 200g spaghetti or linguine
- 300g mixed seafood (shrimp, scallops, mussels)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lemon (zest and juice)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup white wine (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation Steps
Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente, then drain and set aside. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Next, add the mixed seafood to the skillet. Cook until the seafood is just opaque and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. If using white wine, pour it in now and let it simmer for 2 minutes to deglaze the pan.
Stir in the lemon zest and juice, then add the cooked pasta. Toss everything together to combine well. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley for freshness.
Serving Suggestions
This lemon-infused seafood pasta pairs beautifully with a chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc. The wine’s acidity complements the lemon and seafood flavors, creating a harmonious balance. Serve immediately for the best taste and aroma.
