Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled, deveined and tails removed
Freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces bay scallops or small sea scallops
12 ounces thin spaghetti
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 cup dry white wine
One 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup torn fresh basil leaves
Zest of 1 lemon, finely grated

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it is shimmering. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, add to the skillet and cook until lightly browned on both sides, about 3 minutes total; transfer to a plate. Season the scallops with salt and pepper, add to the skillet and cook undisturbed until nicely browned on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Give the scallops a quick stir and cook 1 minute, then transfer to the plate with the shrimp.
  • Add the spaghetti to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions for al dente. Strain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water.
  • While the spaghetti cooks, reduce the heat to medium, add the garlic to the skillet and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring to scrape up any brown bits, until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, red pepper flakes and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the pasta, shrimp, scallops and reserved cooking water and toss to combine. Continue cooking until the sauce coats the pasta and the seafood is heated through, about 2 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat, stir in the parsley and basil and divide among four serving bowls. Sprinkle with the lemon zest, drizzle with more olive oil if desired and serve.

SPAGHETTINI WITH CRAB, LIME & CHILLI



Spaghettini With Crab, Lime & Chilli image

From Bill Granger's bills Sydney Food. This dish relies on the hot pasta to warm the other ingredients, so combine immediately after draining. This works well as a quick weeknight meal. I've made many variations, using only lemon zest and juice, coriander in place of the parsley, omitting the lime and adding Parmesan, etc. . . It's easy and versatile.
