LINGUINE WITH SEAFOOD (LINGUINE AI FRUTTI DI MARE)

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.

CREAMY GARLIC SEAFOOD PASTA

Steps:

• In a large pan, add a splash of oil and allow to heat up.
• Season the seafood with salt and pepper then cook in batches until golden brown.
• The shrimp/prawns should take no more than a minute per side (depending on size) and the calamari and mussels will take only a few minutes to cook. Take care not to overcook the seafood as they will go tough and rubbery. Rather undercook slightly as it will cook a little more while being tossed with the sauce and pasta.
• Remove the seafood from the pan and set aside.
• In the same pan, melt the butter and add the garlic and chilli flakes. Cook until fragrant then pour in the lemon juice and wine.
• Bring to a simmer and allow to reduce by half.
• Pour in the cream and allow to come to a simmer. Allow to cook for 5 minutes or until the sauce coats the back of a spoon.
• Add the seafood (and any of its resting juices) and parsley and stir to combine.
• Toss the sauce with cooked pasta and a splash of the pasta cooking water and toss to coat the pasta. Serve sprinkled with parsley.

SQUID INK PASTA WITH CALAMARI

Steps:

• Heat avocado oil in a deep skillet over medium heat; cook and stir minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in squid and a pinch of salt. Pour 2 cups water and 1 cup wine over squid, ensuring squid is fully submerged. Cover skillet and bring liquid to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until squid is tender, about 40 minutes.
• Bring 8 cups generously salted water to a boil in a pot. Cook squid ink pasta at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain, reserving pasta water.
• Remove squid from skillet and place in a bowl. Add shallot and scallions to skillet; cook and stir in the remaining liquid for about 3 minutes. Stir in butter, a splash of white wine, lemon juice, basil, paprika, dried roasted garlic, Parisian herb blend, salt, and pepper. Slowly pour in cream until sauce reaches desired color and consistency.
• Mix squid into the sauce and cook until sauce reduces and thickens, about 5 minutes. Add some of the reserved pasta water if sauce gets too thick. Add pasta to sauce; toss to coat lightly with sauce.

EASY CALAMARI RECIPE WITH GARLIC LIME SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large cast iron skillet, heat 1/4 cup of olive oil and 1 tbsp of unsalted butter. Turn heat to medium-high and add the garlic, saute briefly, tossing regularly, until fragrant (this should take seconds, garlic should only gain a little color, do not burn it.)
• Pat calamari dry and add to the pan, cook for 1 to 2 minutes over medium-high heat (calamari will release some liquid.) Add white wine and lime juice. Cook briefly to warm though (do not overcook or calamari will turn rubbery. You are just looking for the sauce to warm through) Season with salt and pepper. If you like a little spice, add a pinch of cayenne.
• Finally, stir in the fresh dill. Remove from heat and serve (see serving suggestions in notes)
