We’re very lucky to be featured on CTV Morning Live every month, dishing up some great things from healthy meals to events at the market. Today, we learned ways to woo your loved one this Valentine’s Day from Chef Brain Plunkett from Blu Seafood. He shared a dead simple, delicious recipe to impress your sweetheart that can be whipped together in less than 10 minutes.
Market Sourced Ingredients
1 lb. (454 g) Scampi from Blu Seafood
1 cup tomatoes, diced from Gull Valley Greenhouses
1 tbsp. shallots, finely diced from Cherry Pit
1 clove garlic, crushed from Cherry Pit
½ cup basil, chopped from The Cucumber Man
1 tbsp, olive oil from Soffritto
1 oz. butter
2 oz. white Wine
Start by splitting the scampi tails to de-vein (here’s an easy how-to video) and season with salt and pepper. Add olive oil to a sauté pan and heat until almost smoking. Add the butter and the scampi and quickly turning so to prevent overcooking. Add the shallots, garlic and tomato; cook fro 2 minutes, add the basil and white wine, cook 1 minute more. Remove the scampi then simmer the sauce for 1 minute and pour over the scampi. Serve and enjoy!
