- 1 pound thinly sliced mushrooms (3 cups)
- 1 teaspoon fresh minced tarragon (or 1/4 teaspoon died tarragon, crumbled)

How to Make
-
Step 1: Finely grate the lemon zest. Squeeze 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice. Set aside zest and juice.
-
Step 2: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. When butter sizzles, add the shallot. Cook until soft, 3 - 5 minutes. Add the garlic; cook for 1 minute.
-
Step 3: Add the shrimp and scallops. Saute, stirring constantly, just until shrimp is almost cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer shrimp and scallops to a plate; set aside.
-
Step 4: Add the mushrooms, tarragon, Scotch, wine, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Increase heat to high. When bubbles form around edge of pan, continue to cook for 3 minutes.
-
Step 5: Remove from heat and gradually stir in the Creme Fraiche and 2 tablespoons of the parsley.
-
Step 6: Coo over medium-low heat until mixture thickens slightly, about 3 minutes.
-
Step 7: Add shrimp and scallops. Heat just until warmed through. Garnish with remaining parsley.
-
Step 8: Serve immediately.
