Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tbsp olive oil
250 g (½lb) shrimp / prawns (peeled and deveined)
150 g (5oz) mussel meat ((approximately 500g with shells) )
150 g (5oz) calamari tubes / squid heads
2 tbsp butter
4 garlic cloves (crushed)
½ tsp chilli flakes
½ cup white wine
1-2 tsp lemon juice
1 cup cream
salt and pepper (to taste )
½ cup parsley (finely chopped)
500 g (1lb) pasta (cooked + 1 cup cooking water reserved)

Steps:

  • In a large pan, add a splash of oil and allow to heat up.
  • Season the seafood with salt and pepper then cook in batches until golden brown.
  • The shrimp/prawns should take no more than a minute per side (depending on size) and the calamari and mussels will take only a few minutes to cook. Take care not to overcook the seafood as they will go tough and rubbery. Rather undercook slightly as it will cook a little more while being tossed with the sauce and pasta.
  • Remove the seafood from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, melt the butter and add the garlic and chilli flakes. Cook until fragrant then pour in the lemon juice and wine.
  • Bring to a simmer and allow to reduce by half.
  • Pour in the cream and allow to come to a simmer. Allow to cook for 5 minutes or until the sauce coats the back of a spoon.
  • Add the seafood (and any of its resting juices) and parsley and stir to combine.
  • Toss the sauce with cooked pasta and a splash of the pasta cooking water and toss to coat the pasta. Serve sprinkled with parsley.

CREAMY GARLICY SEAFOOD MARINARA



Creamy Garlicy Seafood Marinara image

Something that the DH and I put together. I have not included the time to cook the pasta (this can be done while you are cooking the seafood). Have had the FIL and MIl cooking this for some cousins (niece on the MIL'd side) but he nieces DH is severe celiac (using gluten free cream and sour cream and so his serve his portion is with rice (but have to up the sauce as the rice sucks it up, where it is coated over the pasta). Also please feel free to change the seafood mix to what you like or for that matter the vegetables, this recipe is not set in stone. Also times are based on prawns being deviened and peeled. fish filleted and just have to cube (sorry but we quite often make this from total scratch, filleting fish, peeling deviening prawns and cleaning squid - add another 1 hour if you are doing this too

Time 50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

500 g prawns (raw, peeled and deviened)
300 g fish (firm, cubed)
1 squid (tube, sliced into rings)
200 g scallops (meat)
6 garlic cloves (crushed or minced)
2 teaspoons ginger (grated)
1 -2 chile (to taste, deseeded and finely sliced)
1 spring onion (scallion, finely sliced)
3 tablespoons cream (thickened)
3 tablespoons sour cream (light)
1 cup broccoli floret
1 cup cauliflower floret
1 cup carrot (juliened)
350 g fettuccine pasta
4 -6 tablespoons peanut oil (to fry seafood)

Steps:

  • Cook pasta as per packet directions (time to have ready for step 10, it needs to be warm, if it goes cold it will stick together and the sauce won't coat it well).
  • Lightly steam vegetables (I normally do in the microwave for a 30 to 60 seconds).
  • Add 2 tablespoons of oil and heat over a medium to high heat in a large frypan or wok, cook fish till just done, remove to a plate.
  • Add more oil, if required and cook the prawns till just cooked through, remove to a plate.
  • Add more oil, if required and cook the scallops till just done, remove to plate.
  • Wipe out the frypan and add more oil and heat up over medium to high heat and quickly cook the squid rings to just done and remove to plate.
  • Wipe frypan clean and heat 1 teaspoon of oil over low heat and add the garlic, ginger and chillies and cook till fragrant.
  • Add the cream and sour cream and lightly simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the cooked seafood and lightly steamed vegetables and stir to coat, lightly simmering for 2 to 5 minutes till heated through.
  • Add cooked pasta and spring onions, stirring to coat the pasta with the sauce.
  • Serve and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.

  • Add Vegetables: Feel free to add your favorite vegetables to this dish, such as bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms.
  • Serve with Pasta or Rice: This dish can be served with pasta or rice. If you're serving it with pasta, be sure to cook the pasta al dente.

This creamy garlicky seafood marinara is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. It's packed with flavor from the seafood, garlic, and marinara sauce. Serve it with pasta or rice and a side of vegetables for a complete meal.
