Seafood Pasta Sauce

Sage's Note:

My friend prepared this meal for us one evening and I included it in our Family Recipe Book; it remains a favourite. Tastes very rich but very low fat and so easy to prepare.

Sage, this is one delicious sauce! followed your recipe except I didn't add the shrimps or scallops until the very last step and then simmered them for 5 minutes I can't get Essence of Emeril, or at least I haven't seen it so I added Denzel"s sauce - it's spicy but worked well Thank-you for a recipe I will enjoy itover and over again

This is a great sauce for seafood and one I will use often! Great flavors going on here. My family just about swallowed it whole so they could go for seconds. Good thing I doubled the recipe so we could have leftovers. I served it over linguine noodles with great success!

Tried this last night it was really great. I inadvertently added a tablespoon of butter instead of a tsp. Also listened to other reviewers added the seafood late in the process. Used wondra to thicken the sauce and some white wine to stretch the sauce a bit more. Thanks Sage - this is a winner
