Seafood and Broccoli Pasta

Description

Having been a seafood retailer in a previous life, I was always testing, trying and developing recipes for my customers. This one is my son's favorite and I always make it when he comes to town. Sometimes I substitute baby spinach leaves for the broccoli.

  • 1 pound large, peeled and deveined shrimp, patted dry
  • 1 pound sea scallops, patted dry
  • 2 x 6.5 ounces cans of chopped clams

Sheet-Pan Seafood Pot Pie

Growing up, I didn’t eat a lot of seafood—so indulging in it always feels special. This pot pie is double crusted and made on a sheet pan, so the bottom crust has no problem getting crispy despite the creamy, rich filling inside. It’s the perfect meal to help you grieve the loss of summer: somewhere between the buttery lobster rolls you can have near the beach and the warm, comforting meals you love to make come fall.
