Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean and Prep Seafood

    Rinse all seafood under cold water. Remove the shells from the jumbo and baby shrimp. Scrub the mussels and clams under running water to remove any grit. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Chop Garlic and Herbs

    Mince the garlic cloves finely. Chop the fresh parsley and basil. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  2. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Capers

    Add the diced tomatoes and capers to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes soften and release their juices.

  3. 5

    Cook Seafood

    Add the jumbo shrimp, baby shrimp, scallops, mussels, and littleneck clams to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir gently to combine and cover the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the seafood is cooked through and the mussels and clams have opened.

  4. 6

    Finish with Clams and Herbs

    Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped clams, parsley, and basil. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve the Frutti Di Mare hot, garnished with extra parsley and basil if desired. Pair it with crusty bread or over pasta for a complete meal.
