1/2 cup of scallops. chopped
500 ml of heavy cream
50 gm of parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup of white wine
1/2 cup of chicken or, veal or, pork stock
2 tea spoons of olive oil
1 tea spoon of butter
1/2 tea spoon of smoked paprika, powder
2-3 bay leaves
1/4th cup of red pepper, chopped
2 tea spoons of corn starch, mixed with 1/2 cup of cold water (Slurry)
1 cup of shredded cheese (Mozzarella or, cheder)

Method:
First, in a pot saute the garlic and leeks with the oil, on a low heat for 2-3 min. Add the 2 types of fish, shrimp and the scallops and stir it gently. Cook it for 1 more min. Add the wine and cook it for 2-3 more min. Now, add the cream & stock, bring it to a simmer. Then, add s-paprika, bay leaves, r-pepper. Mix it gently. Cook it for 2-3 more min. Pour in the corn starch when it's simmering and bubbles and whisk it at the same time to avoid any lumps at the bottom of the pot. Now, add the pasmesan cheese, and the butter and mix it gently. Season with salt and pepper. It should have a nice thick soupy texture. Now, take a big bowl and pour in the sauce in it and add the cooked pasta and mix it well with a serving spoon. Now, pour it in a greased hotel tray and sprinkle the shredded cheese on top and bake it @ 325 Degrees for 10 min or, till you get a nice light golden colour on the top. Serve hot with the garnish (Parsley). Beautiful flavour & taste!
