Category: Pasta - Seafood

1 Green Pepper
1 Red Pepper
1 Yellow Pepper
1 lb asparagus or broccoli
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp garlic, minced
1 10 oz can clam juice
1 tsp lemon grass
3/4 tsp dried sage
3/4 lb shrimp, peeled & deveined
1/2 lb sea scallops, quartered
1/2 lb imitation crab meat, cut up
salt & pepper only if needed

1 lb spiral pasta

Cut vegetables into bite sized pieces. Put salted water up to boil. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet. Add 1/2 tbsp garlic and cook over low heat for 1 minute. Add vegetables, raise heat to medium and cook 4-5 minutes, stirring, until barely tender. Remove with juices to large serving bowl. Rinse skillet and return to heat. Heat remaining oil and cook remaining garlic as before.

Meanwhile, throw pasta in the boiling water. Add clam juice, lemon grass and sage to skillet. Raise heat. When juice comes to a boil, add the shrimp and scallops. Cook 3-4 minutes. Add crab meat. Warm through. Taste for seasoning. Drain pasta. Add to vegetables in serving bowl. Pour seafood and liquid over pasta. Stir and serve immediately. Serves 4.

This would be great with a good Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc based wine such as Sancerre. A dry rose or a Vouvray Sec would also work very well.
