A delightful seafood dish featuring shrimp and scallops in a rich garlic butter sauce, perfect for a cozy dinner.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the oil to prevent sticking.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant.
Stir constantly to avoid burning the garlic.
Add the shrimp and scallops to the skillet and cook until the shrimp turn pink and the scallops are opaque.
Do not overcrowd the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Pour in the white wine and sprinkle with basil and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 2 minutes.
Allow the alcohol in the wine to evaporate for a balanced flavor.
Stir in the butter and season with pepper. Cook until the butter is melted.
Swirl the skillet to evenly distribute the butter.
Garnish with parsley and parmesan cheese before serving.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
