LINGUINI AND SCALLOPS ALA GREEK

Steps:

• Heat large skillet, add olive oil, saute onions and garlic until just tender, add in frozen stir fry vegetables ( or you can dice yourself fresh veggies but this is a quick way) and saute until tender. (about 10 min).
• Remove from pan into large bowl.
• Add 2 Tbsp butter and scallops into heated pan with spices, cook until scallops are opaque (about 5 minutes).
• Remove and add to bowl, cover to retain heat.
• Meanwhile, have a pan of water to boil, add linguini and cook as per instructions until al dente (5-8 min).
• Strain and put back into pot with Tbsp butter and palmful of feta cheese, stir until blended.
• Pour into bowl with scallops and vegetable and mix together.
• Squeeze lemon and then sprinkle more feta to taste, or serve on side.
• Dinner takes less than 30 minutes from freezer to table and yet it tastes like you worked very hard( as per my family and guests).
• *Prep time is longer to julliene vegetables if not using frozen veggies. I have done both ways, after work frozen veggies are handier.
