Seafood Fra Diavolo Recipe

Seafood Fra Diavolo

From upstatevoyager 16 years ago

I took the best of 4 to 5 recipes put them together and came up with this. Any combination of seafood can be used in any amount. Enjoy.

6 tablespoons olive oil, divided shopping list
4 to 6 anchovy filets shopping list
1/2 cup sweet or red onion, finely chopped shopping list
6 cloves garlic, minced shopping list
2 (28 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with liquid (I use the ones packed in tomato juice) shopping list
1 teaspoon salt, or less (anchovies add salt to the sauce) shopping list
1/2 to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes shopping list
dried basil and/or dried oregano to taste (optional) shopping list
1/4 cup dry red wine shopping list
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar shopping list
12 ounces raw shrimp, peeled and deveined shopping list
12 ounces sea scallops, rinsed and patted dry shopping list
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced shopping list
1 to 1 1/2 pounds linguine or angel hair pasta, cooked and drained shopping list

In large saucepan, heat 4 tablespoons oil over medium heat.
Add anchovies and stir over medium heat until they "melt" into the oil.
Add onion and saute until softened.
Add garlic and saute 1 minute.
Add tomatoes with liquid, vinegar, salt and red pepper flakes.
Season to taste with basil and oregano.
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes.
(If sauce appears to thin, tomato paste can be added.)
In large skillet, heat remaininng 2 tablespoons oil over high heat.
Add shrimp and scallops to skillet. Saute 2 minutes or until shrimp turn pink. Add to tomato mixture.
Stir in parsley and cook 3 to 4 minutes or until sauce is hot and scallops are opaque.
Serve over pasta.
