Mixed seafood in a creamy garlic wine sauce
Quick and easy recipe for mixed seafood in a creamy garlic wine sauce, or mariscos al ajillo. Made with a mix of shrimp, calamari or squid, and bay scallops cooked in a sauce of butter, garlic, white onion, white wine, cream, and parsley. ...
This is a quick and easy way to prepare mixed seafood in a creamy garlic wine sauce, aka “mariscos al ajillo” in Spanish. This recipe calls for a combination of shrimp, squid or calamari, and bay scallops – plus any additional seafood that you would like to add or replace.
This dish of seafood in garlic sauce can be served as a starter or appetizer. It’s just perfectly delicious on its own served with thick slices of rustic bread or baguette. The bread is the perfect vehicle to absorb that amazing sauce. Another option is to serve it as part of a main dish. I recommend serving it Latin style with rice, fried green plantains, and a side salad. It would also make a very tasty sauce for spaghetti or pasta. For a special meal you can also serve it as a topping sauce on top of grilled fish.
I used three types of seafood for this recipe: shrimp, squid, and bay scallops. Feel free to replace or add additional seafood based on your preference or what you have available. For example, you can make this with mussels, clams, crab, and/or octopus. If using crab and octopus I recommend adding them already cooked; and mixing them into the sauce once the rest of the seafood is cooked.
I recommend having all the ingredients cleaned and prepped ahead of time, as well as any side dishes or garnishes. This garlicky seafood dish takes vey little time to cook and this way you can be ready to enjoy it immediately.
