Ingredients

• 1 1 1 large garlic clove, minced
• 3 3 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 2 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 1 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 1/2 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 1/2 1/2 pound bite-size pasta, such as penne
• 1 1 1 pound bay scallops
• 1 1 1 pound (31–35 count) uncooked shrimp, preferably wild, peeled, deveined, and cut into small pieces
• 1 1 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved and lightly salted
• 1/2 1/2 1/2 cup finely chopped jarred roasted yellow peppers (see headnote)
• 4 4 3/4 ounces crumbled feta cheese (about 3/4 cup)
• 1/4 1/4 1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano

Preparation

Step 1

Whisk garlic, lemon juice, mustard, vinegar, and a light sprinkling of salt and pepper in a Pyrex measuring cup. Slowly whisk in olive oil to make a thick dressing; set aside.

Meanwhile, bring 2 quarts water and 1 tablespoon salt to a boil in a large pot. Add pasta and, using package times as a guide, cook until just tender, about 10 minutes. Add seafood to pasta and continue to cook until seafood is just opaque, a minute or so longer. Drain and pour onto a baking sheet to cool and dry. Just before serving, mix pasta and seafood, tomatoes, roasted pepper, cheese, and oregano in a large bowl. Add dressing, toss to coat, and serve.

Drink: A clean, crisp white such as Vernaccia di San Gimignano or Sancerre
