Recipe - Linguini With Seafood - Buonappetito

2 tablespoon Olive oil
3 Shallots chopped
or green onions
1 teaspoon Grated lemon rind
One half teaspoon Red chili pepper flakes
2 tablespoon Parsley, chopped
12 lg Shrimp or prawns
12 Scallops
One half cup White wine
2 pound Mussels
28 ounce Tomatoes, canned
One fourth cup Basil, fresh, shredded
1 pound Linquini

Serve pasta and sauce in a large bowl on the table and let people help
themselves. Vary the seafood according to your tastes. If you prefer a
vegetarian version, saute mushrooms and peppers instead of seafood and add
into tomato sauce. Grated parmesan is traditionally not offered with
seafood dishes. 1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil on mediumhigh heat.
Add shallots and garlic. Saute for 1 minute or until softened slightly,
then add lemon rind, parsley, shrimps and scallops. Saute together until
shrimps just turn pink and scallops are translucent, about 12 minutes.
Remove with a slotted spoon from skillet. Season with salt and pepper. 2.
Add white wine to skillet, bring to boil and add mussels. Cover and steam
mussels until they open, about 3 minutes. Remove mussels from skillet and
reserve with shrimps and scallops. Discard any mussels that do not open.
Remove mussel meats from half the mussels, leaving remainder in their
shells. 3. Meanwhile drain tomatoes and chop, reserving juice. Add
tomatoes, juice and chili flakes into skillet and bring to boil. Stir in
2TB basil and simmer for 10 minutes to combine flavours. Season with salt
and pepper. Sauce can be made ahead to this point. 4. When ready to serve:
bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add pasta and cook until al
dente, about 1012 minutes. Drain well. 5. Return seafood to sauce,
sprinkle with remaining basil then reheat. Toss with pasta and serve.
