Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all ingredients and prepare the prawns and calamari by cleaning and slicing them as needed.

  2. 2

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Prawns and Calamari

    Add the prawns and calamari to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the prawns turn pink and the calamari is tender.

  4. 4

    Deglaze with Vodka

    Carefully pour in the vodka and let it simmer for about 1-2 minutes to allow the alcohol to cook off.

  5. 5

    Add Marinara Sauce

    Stir in the marinara sauce and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer and let cook for another 5-7 minutes.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve hot over pasta or with crusty bread.
