Description

This linguine fra diavolo features shrimp, bay scallops, and mussels cooked in a spicy tomato sauce made with a generous amount of red pepper flakes.

Ingredients

6 cloves garlic, crushed
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
6 cups canned whole tomatoes with juice, chopped
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 (16 ounce) package linguine
1/2 pound small shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 pound bay scallops
1/2 pound mussels, cleaned and debearded
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions

1 Heat crushed garlic and 2 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until garlic starts to sizzle, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes with juice, red pepper flakes, oregano, basil, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2 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 keep warm.
3 While the linguine is cooking, heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Stir in shrimp and scallops and cook, stirring frequently, until shrimp turn pink, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
4 Stir shrimp, scallops, mussels, and parsley into tomato mixture; cook until sauce begins to bubble and mussels open, about 7 minutes. Pour sauce over linguine and serve.
