Seefood and Bows (Seafood and Farfalle)

You can actually add whatever seafood you like. I prefer shrimp and crab, but lobster would also be amazing in this.

Seefood and Bows (Seafood and Farfalle)

That’s no misspelling when I made this dish the first time, I wanted to give it a catchy name, hence Seefood and Bows. It’s actually Seafood and Farfalle, an Italian bow-shaped pasta.

I use a light lemony dressing over this.  What makes the dressing stand out is the
Sunny Paris seasoning blend from Penzey’s spices. You will find yourself using this wonderful spice in all kinds of foods. It stars shallots and chives, plus pepper and herbs.

You can use almost any shellfish, but I prefer shrimp and crab. No need to bust the bank, Krab works just fine in this, and you don’t need much. If you want to go fancy, you can add lobster or King crab.
