Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 lb medium shrimp
1/2 lb sea scallops
1/2 lb squid (tubes and/or tentacles)
1/2 lb tilapia fillets (or other firm white fish)
1-1/2 lbs fresh mussels
2 dozen cherrystone clams
1 cup dry white wine
1-1/2 lbs linguine
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
8 cloves garlic (very finely chopped)
1/2 cup onion (very finely chopped)
1 can (28-ounce San Marzano plum tomatoes, undrained)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons chiffonade of fresh basil

Steps:

  • Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails on and arrange on a large platter. Cut the scallops into quarters and add to the platter with the shrimp.
  • Clean the squid if necessary, then slice the tubes into rings. Trim any tough parts from the top of the tentacles and add to the platter.
  • Cut the tilapia fillets in half lengthwise, then into bite-sized pieces. Add to the platter, cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Rinse the clams and mussels under cool running water. Trim any "beards" protruding from the mussels with a sharp knife or kitchen shears.
  • Add 1/2 cup of the wine to a deep, 6 to 7 quart pan. Cover and heat to boiling. Add the clams, cover and cook until all the shells have opened. Using tongs, transfer to a bowl and set aside. Be sure to discard any clams that don't open.
  • Add the remaining wine to the pan and return to boiling. Add the mussels and cook until all the shells open. Transfer 24 of the mussels to the bowl with the clams and set aside. Be sure to discard any mussels that don't open.
  • Remove the meat from any remaining mussels, place in a small bowl, set aside and discard the empty shells. Strain the broth from the pan into a separate bowl and set aside.
  • Put a large pot of salted water on to boil for the linguine.
  • Heat the olive oil in the pan you cooked the mussels in over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and lightly golden - do not brown. Add 1/2 cup of the reserved mussel liquid along with the tomatoes and their liquid.
  • Using a wooden spoon, break the tomatoes into small pieces. Bring the mixture to a simmer, season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper and add the crushed red pepper. Simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Begin cooking the pasta according to package directions.
  • Keep the sauce simmering and add the squid and shrimp. Stir to coat them with sauce and cook just until you see the shrimp start to turn pink, about 1-1/2 minutes.
  • Add the tilapia and shelled mussel meat, coat with sauce again, and continue cooking until the fish begins to turn opaque, 1-1/2 minutes longer.
  • Gently mix in the scallops and place the clams and reserved mussels in their shells on top. Cover the pan and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the basil.
  • Drain the pasta, toss with a little olive oil and arrange on a very large serving platter or divide amongst individual dinner plates.
  • Using tongs arrange the clams and mussels around the edges of the plates or serving platter. Spoon the seafood-sauce mixture over the pasta and serve immediately.

LINGUINE AI FRUTTI DI MARE (LINGUINE WITH FRUIT OF THE SEA)

This is possibly my most favorite food. It is spicy, succulent, and comforting - down to the very last linguine noodle! I've had many versions of this, and sometimes leave out the mussels, since I don't always like their taste/texture. You can also find canned clams, but you should really wash them thoroughly, as they will be very salty!

SEAFOOD LINGUINE



Seafood Linguine image

Shellfish is the star in the traditional Italian pasta dish linguine ai frutti di mare. Our recipe calls for five varieties: clams, mussels, scallops, shrimp, and squid.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Shrimp Recipes

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
1 pound cockles or small clams, scrubbed well
2 pounds mussels, scrubbed well, beards removed
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 pound dry sea scallops, tough muscles removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 medium onion, finely diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 can (28 ounces) whole peeled tomatoes in juices, crushed by hand
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on
8 ounces squid, tubes cut into 1/4-inch slices, tentacles left whole
1 pound linguine
1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Heat wine in a large Dutch oven over medium-high until simmering. Add cockles and mussels, cover pot, and cook until shellfish have opened, about 5 minutes. (Discard any unopened ones.) Using a slotted spoon, remove shellfish and transfer to a bowl. Shuck half of mussels; discard shells. Cover shellfish with foil to keep warm. Strain liquid through a fine-mesh sieve. (You should have about 1 cup broth.)
  • Wipe Dutch oven clean with a paper towel. Heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high, swirling to coat bottom. Pat scallops dry with a paper towel; season with salt and pepper. Add to Dutch oven and cook, flipping once, until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; loosely cover with foil.
  • Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to pan drippings in Dutch oven; reduce heat to medium. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add red-pepper flakes and tomato paste and cook, stirring, 1 to 2 minutes. Add shellfish broth and cook, scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon, until mixture is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes with their juices and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add shrimp and squid and cook, stirring occasionally, until just cooked through and shrimp are bright pink, about 2 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package instructions in a large pot of generously salted water. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water. Toss pasta with tomato sauce, adding pasta water to adjust consistency until creamy. Gently stir in cockles and mussels, reserving a few for garnish if desired. Transfer to a large serving platter; top with scallops and reserved shellfish, if using. Sprinkle with parsley, drizzle with oil, and serve.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ tablespoons crushed red pepper
1 ½ cups Chardonnay white wine
1 cup clam juice
6 cups marinara sauce
8 leaves fresh basil, coarsely chopped
1 pinch salt
1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
⅓ pound scallops
3 whole lobster tails, shelled, cleaned, and chopped
24 medium mussels mussels, cleaned and debearded
24 medium (blank)s littleneck clams, scrubbed
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or to taste
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Pour olive oil into a large pan over medium heat. Add garlic and crushed red pepper; cook until fragrant, 30 to 40 seconds. Pour in white wine and increase heat to medium-high. Let wine reduce by half, about 8 minutes. Add clam juice and reduce heat to medium-low. Pour in marinara, basil, and salt. Let simmer to let flavors marry, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Add shrimp, scallops, lobster, mussels, and clams to the sauce and cook until clams and mussels open, scallops are opaque, shrimp is pink, and lobster is red on the outside and opaque on the inside, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Toss linguine in sauce until it's thick enough to coat the noodles (it will still be a relatively thin sauce), about 3 minutes.
  • Plate noodles and load up with seafood and sauce. Garnish with parsley, and serve immediately with Parmesan cheese.
