Chesapeake-Bay Shellfish “Stir Fry”

STEP 1: Heat butter and olive oil blend in a sauté pan over medium high heat. Add pork belly, shrimp, and scallops and sear until golden brown. Remove proteins from the pan, leaving behind the residual juices, and reserve held warm.

STEP 2: In the same pan sauté garlic, red onions, red bell pepper, Anaheim peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms for approximately 4-5 minutes until vegetables are lightly caramelized. Remove vegetables from the pan and reserve held warm. Use same pan for step 3.

STEP 3: Deglaze the pan with sherry. Add mussel broth and alfredo. Stir to incorporate and reduce to a nape consistency. Add lemon juice, lemon zest, scallions, thyme, rosemary, Old Bay, parsley and stir to combine.

Once sauce is reduced add rethermed Bucatini, half of the vegetables, and crab meat and toss gently to combine.

For plating: Place pasta, sauce and all contents from pan in the center of the bowl. Arrange the remaining half of the cooked vegetables on and around the pasta. Arrange proteins on and around the pasta.

Serve with a piece of “Old Bay” Shrimp & Crab Toast.
