Neptune's mixed bag

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 ounces Lean white fish cut into chunks
4 ounces Tuna steaks cut into chunks
8 Sea scallops
8 larges Shrimp peeled and deveined
8 Mushrooms cleaned and sliced
8 Asparagus spears cleaned, peeled cut into 1 1/2\" dia. pcs.
1 Carrot cut into 1\" matchsticks
1 Shallot finely chopped
¼ cup White wine
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Dried marjoram
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Cut four 12-inch sheets of parchment paper and lightly butter a 5-inch circle in the center of each. In the center of each prepared paper arrange equal portions of the white fish, tuna, scallops and shrimp; set aside.

In a 2-cup glass measure, place the mushrooms, asparagus, carrot, shallot and wine. Cover with vented plastic wrap and microwave on HIGH until the asparagus is crisp-tender, 2-3 minutes.

Using a slotted spoon, remove the vegetables and spoon them over the seafood. Add the mustard, marjoram, salt and pepper to the cooking juices left in the glass measure; stir to mix. Spoon the wine mixture over the seafood.

Bring all four sides of parchment together and tie like a beggar's bag with colored yarn, paper curling ribbons, a strip of plastic wrap or string. Place the bags on a microwaveable plate. Microwave on HIGH 4-5 minutes, turning each bag halfway after 2 minutes. Let stand 3 minutes before placing on serving plates for diners to open at the table.
