   1      tb            Virgin olive oil
   4      cl            Garlic -- minced
   1      lb            Shrimp -- raw
     1/2  lb            Sea scallops -- cut in half
     1/2  ts            Oregano
     1/2  ts            Thyme
  19      oz            Can diced tomatoes
     1/2  c             Heavy cream

In a large skillet heat olive oil and gently saute finely minced
garlic and onion for about 5 minutes until soft and golden.

Add seasonings and saute another 2-3 minutes. 

Strain canned tomatoes through a sieve reserving liquid and
discarding any tomato pieces. You could also puree the tomatoes in a
blender or food processor. 

Add tomato liquid to the pan with the onions and bring to a boil
reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes to thicken.

Add shrimp and scallops to the tomato sauce, cover and let cook 3-4
minutes.

Stir in heavy cream, increase heat slightly and simmer another couple
of minutes. 

Serve over capellini sprinkled with parsley and parmesan cheese.

Notes: If you prefer a creamier sauce you can increase the amount of
cream used to 1 cup, and use a corn starch paste to thicken. Clams or
mussels are also excellent additions to this dish. Pick your
favourite and have fun.
