Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon red chili flakes
1 pound Campari tomatoes, halved
1 Anaheim chile pepper, halved and seeded
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 lobster tails
1 pound linguini
8 ounces large shrimp, shelled and deveined
Kosher salt
2 shallots, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup white wine
8 ounces clams, scrubbed
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Zest of 2 lemons
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the chili oil: Combine the oil and crushed red pepper flakes in a heavy small saucepan. Cook over low heat until a thermometer inserted into the oil registers 180 degrees F, about 5 minutes. Strain the oil into a heatproof container.
  • For the spicy tomato sauce: Heat a large nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle the tomatoes and chile with 2 teaspoons of the chili oil and sprinkle with the salt. Grill until charred and softened, 4 minutes per side. Transfer the tomatoes to a bowl. Coarsely chop the chile, then add to the bowl with the tomatoes.
  • For the pasta: Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the lobster tails and cook until the shells turn red and the meat is opaque, 4 minutes. Transfer the tails to a cutting board. Continue to boil the water and add the linguine. Cook until the pasta has begun to soften but is still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, 6 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking water.
  • While the pasta is cooking, prepare the seafood. Gently cut through the top of the lobster shells using scissors to remove the tail meat, then slice each tail in half lengthwise. Transfer to a large bowl and add the shrimp. Drizzle over 1 1/2 tablespoons of the chili oil and 1 teaspoon salt and toss to coat.
  • Heat a large nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the lobster tails and shrimp until cooked through, 4 minutes per side. Transfer the shrimp to a large bowl. Chop the lobster into 2-inch pieces and combine with the shrimp.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the chili oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the spicy tomato sauce and white wine and bring to a boil. Add the clams and cook, covered, until they open, 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Add the pasta and reserved cooking water to the pan along with the Parmesan and toss to coat. Stir in the parsley, butter, lemon zest and salt and black pepper to taste. Add in the shrimp and lobster and drizzle with the remaining chili oil.

Steps:

  • CHILI OIL: Combine the oil and crushed red pepper flakes in a heavy small saucepan. Cook over low heat until a thermometer inserted into the oil registers 180°F, about 5 minutes. Strain the oil into a heatproof container. SPICY TOMATO SAUCE: Heat a large nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle the tomatoes and chile with 2 teaspoons of the chili oil and sprinkle with the salt. Grill until charred and softened, 4 minutes per side. Transfer the tomatoes to a bowl. Coarsely chop the chile, then add to the bowl with the tomatoes. PASTA: Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the lobster tails and cook until the shells turn red and the meat is opaque, 4 minutes. Transfer the tails to a cutting board. Continue to boil the water and add the linguine. Cook until the pasta has begun to soften but is still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, 6 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking water. While the pasta is cooking, prepare the seafood. Gently cut through the top of the lobster shells using scissors to remove the tail meat, then slice each tail in half lengthwise. Transfer to a large bowl and add the shrimp. Drizzle over 1 1/2 tablespoons of the chili oil and 1 teaspoon salt and toss to coat. Heat a large nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the lobster tails and shrimp until cooked through, 4 minutes per side. Transfer the shrimp to a large bowl. Chop the lobster into 2-inch pieces and combine with the shrimp. Heat 2 tablespoons of the chili oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh seafood: The fresher the seafood, the better the dish will taste. If you can, buy seafood that has been caught or harvested within the last 24 hours.
  • Choose the right pasta: The best pasta for this dish is a long, thin pasta like spaghetti or linguine. This type of pasta will hold the sauce well and cook evenly.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian. It refers to the texture of pasta that is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. This is the ideal texture for pasta in this dish.
  • Make a flavorful sauce: The sauce is the key to this dish. Be sure to use a good quality olive oil and fresh herbs. You can also add some red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
  • Don't overcook the seafood: Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.

Conclusion:

Grilled seafood pasta fra diavolo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover seafood. With its combination of fresh seafood, flavorful sauce, and al dente pasta, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
