Seafood & Sauce

Method

Preparation & Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Seafood

    In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, middleneck clams, and calamari. Rinse under cold water and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Sauce

    In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Wine

    Stir in the crushed San Marzano tomatoes, dry white wine, Calabrian chili paste, and saffron threads. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Season the Sauce

    Add salt and black pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. 5

    Cook the Seafood

    Add the shrimp, clams, and calamari to the sauce. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and the clams open.

  6. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Remove from heat and stir in the fresh chopped parsley. Serve hot, pairing with crusty bread or over pasta if desired.
