Steak & Shrimp Minos

An old favorite of ours was Steak & Shrimp Minos from the Mad Greek Restaurant.  I found some wonderful feta cheese at the market and set out to duplicate it.  I sauteed zucchini and yellow squash in olive oil, and added sauteed red peppers, onions and garlic.  Each batch of veggies went out of the pan to wait, and then I sauteed steak and shrimp with garlic.  I added fresh oregano from the garden to each batch of veggies and meat.  I added the feta from the market and served it over basmati rice which I quickly sauteed with garlic and oregano.  It was remarkably similar to the original, which I haven't had in a while.

Seafood pasta

Copying a bit from a favorite dish at Grotto, I made seafood pasta last night.  It was a hot night on the patio & I didn't want to have a heavy red sauce.  I sauteed some fennel, shallots & garlic in olive oil & added white wine and some of that nice veal stock my sweet husband makes & freezes.  We had some tomato-basil sauce still in the freezer from last summer and that filled the tomato role.  I added saffron and frozen shrimp & scallops.  I mixed it in the pot with angel hair pasta and took the whole bowl over to the neighbors patio.  It was a hit.
