Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled, deveined and tails removed
Freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces bay scallops or small sea scallops
12 ounces thin spaghetti
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 cup dry white wine
One 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup torn fresh basil leaves
Zest of 1 lemon, finely grated

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it is shimmering. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, add to the skillet and cook until lightly browned on both sides, about 3 minutes total; transfer to a plate. Season the scallops with salt and pepper, add to the skillet and cook undisturbed until nicely browned on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Give the scallops a quick stir and cook 1 minute, then transfer to the plate with the shrimp.
  • Add the spaghetti to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions for al dente. Strain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water.
  • While the spaghetti cooks, reduce the heat to medium, add the garlic to the skillet and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring to scrape up any brown bits, until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, red pepper flakes and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the pasta, shrimp, scallops and reserved cooking water and toss to combine. Continue cooking until the sauce coats the pasta and the seafood is heated through, about 2 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat, stir in the parsley and basil and divide among four serving bowls. Sprinkle with the lemon zest, drizzle with more olive oil if desired and serve.

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

24 clams
24 mussels
1 pound spaghetti
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
4 cloves garlic, shaved very thin
1/2 cup squid, sliced
16 pieces shrimp
8 pieces sea urchin

Steps:

  • Cook the clams and mussels with 1/2 cup water until cooked. Reserve the liquid. Remove the meat from inside the clams and mussels; discard the shells.
  • In boiling salted water, begin cooking the spaghetti. Simultaneously, heat up the extra-virgin olive oil on medium-high heat in a large saute pan. Add the crushed red pepper and shaved garlic and slowly saute. Just when the edges of the garlic become lightly browned, remove the pan from the heat and add a large ladle (approximately 8 ounces) of the pasta cooking water to the saute pan. Put it back on the heat but do not increase the flame.
  • When the pasta is three-quarters of the way cooked, remove from the boiling water to the saute pan. Reserve the cooking liquid.
  • Continue cooking the spaghetti using the reserved pasta cooking liquid, as needed. Add more clam/mussels liquid to achieve creaminess. Just before the pasta is cooked, add the clams, mussels, squid, and shrimp. Finish cooking the pasta with all the seafood until al dente.
  • Remove the seafood pasta from the pan and toss with the sea urchin. Serve immediately.

SEAFOOD SPAGHETTI



Seafood Spaghetti image

I made this up from a bunch of recipes that I read - tried to take the best/easiest of them all. I have to say, it turned out great! Very yummy, just like a restaurant. I used thin spaghetti because that's what I had in the pantry, and I think it was the perfect balance to the sauce. I used a sauvignon blanc for the wine - which I thought would be too fruity, but it was just right. You can use whatever shellfish you like - I think it would have been great with some muscles or clams. Just add them when you would add the shrimp.

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb shrimp, uncooked and peeled
1 lb sea scallops

1 lemon, juice of
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, to taste
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Buy lobster already cooked from seafood department.
  • Put on water to boil for spaghetti.
  • Peel shrimp, cut scallops into half or fourths - depending on how you like to eat them. Take lobster meat out of shell and chop.
  • Put spaghetti on to cook.
  • Heat olive oil in skillet, add garlic to saute - do not brown.
  • Add shrimp and saute for about 2 min or until starting to turn pink.
  • Add scallops and saute for another 1 or 2 min, keeping heat high, but do not burn.
  • Add wine and lemon juice and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat a little. (med-high - just on the verge of bubbling, but not too hot or you'll overcook the seafood.
  • Add salt and pepper.
  • Add lobster meat and combine.
  • Add red pepper flakes.
  • Add the butter and swirl.
  • Is your pasta done? If so, drain and put into pot to stay warm.
  • Add the parsley flakes.

If you would like your sauce a bit thicker, sprinkle corn starch over the sauce and stir it in and keep stirring until the sauce thickens a bit. It is still going to be a brothy sauce, but it will thicken. Once thick, turn down heat.
  • If you haven't finished cooking your pasta, do that now, drain, and poor the tall the sauce over the pasta and combine.
