Place in a food processor with the butter, yogurt, chives, salt, pepper and whirl until the consistency of mashed potatoes. Add extra yogurt if necessary.

14 Seafood:
15
16 Simmer all in a large saute/fry pan:
17
18 1/4 C extra virgin olive oil
19 3 T butter
20 1-2 T dried shallots (as desired)
21 1/4 C lemon juice, or more - can use a combination of juice and vinegar here
22 1/4 tsp salt (if using the next ingredient, omit this)
23 1/2 tsp fish bouillon (optional - use if you do not have much liquid from the seafood) + 1/4 C water
24 1/2 tsp pasilla chili powder (or more)
25 1/8 tsp each: cayenne pepper, white pepper, fresh-ground black pepper
26 2 T orange muscat champagne vinegar (TJs)
27 2 T rice vinegar
28
29 While the sauce is simmering, combine all of the below in a small bowl and mix well.
30
31 1 lb tiny bay scallops and their liquid, defrosted
32 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled, deveined, tailed (defrosted if using frozen)
33 1/2 lb lump cooked crab meat (CostCo)
34
35 or
36
37 2 lobster tails, chopped into bite-sized pieces
38 1/2 lb large scallops, halved or quartered, and their liquid, defrosted
39 2 T capers
40
41
42 Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, shredded, for garnish

45 Add the seafood and its liquid and capers to the sauce mixture and simmer it over low to medium heat until the seafood is nearly done, slightly opaque but still tender. Remove the seafood from the saute pan and keep warm, periodically pouring off the liquid back into the saute pan. Bring the sauce to an active simmer and reduce this until quite thick, 10-15 minutes or more, depending on how much liquid you got from the seafood. Then add the seafood back into the pan, stirring constantly until the seafood is hot. Note that the sauce will thin back out again as the cooking seafood releases juices.

47 Spoon the seafood over the fauxtatoes with a generous helping of the broth. Top with chopped chives and optionally shredded parm-reg cheese. Enjoy!
