Shrimp Pasta in Pink Sauce with Seared Scallops & Garlic Cheese Bread

I'm not usually a seafood eater (other than the toxic amount of sushi I consume), but he was craving shrimp pasta so I decided to try something new.

As always, started cooking with an exorbitant amount of garlic.

Sliced up some fresh tomatoes.

Pureed the tomatoes with seasoning in a blender.

Shrimps were peeled, deveined, degutted, and de-tailed.

Shrimps were sauteed with salt, black pepper, and garlic.

The tomato puree was sauteed and seasoned with parsley, bay leaves, and well, more garlic.

Added a bit of white wine (how cute is this little bottle!).

Added heavy whipping cream.

Stirred until sauce thickened.

Added the cooked shrimp and pasta.

Lastly, topped it off with parmesan cheese.

Sliced french bread with butter, garlic, herbs, and asiago cheese.

Seasoned scallops with salt and pepper, seared it on a skillet.

Dinner was served!
