Cooking Tips

• Make sure to cook the pasta al dente, as it will continue to cook slightly when added to the sauce.
• Pat the scallops and shrimp dry before cooking to ensure a nice sear.
• For extra flavor, you can add a splash of white wine to the sauce before adding the chicken broth.

Storage and Serving

• This dish is best served immediately after cooking to enjoy the freshness of the seafood.
• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, gently warm the pasta in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of chicken broth or cream to prevent it from drying out.
