Linguine fra diavolo featuring shrimp, scallops, and mussels cooked in a spicy red sauce made with tomatoes, fresh herbs, and a healthy amount of red pepper flakes.

Ingredients:
  • 6 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 6 cups canned whole tomatoes with juice, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 (16 ounce) package linguine
  • ½ pound small shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • ½ pound bay scallops
  • ½ pound mussels, cleaned and debearded
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Directions:
  1. Heat crushed garlic and 2 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until garlic starts to sizzle, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes with juice, red pepper flakes, oregano, basil, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain and keep warm.
  3. While the linguine is cooking, heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Stir in shrimp and scallops and cook, stirring frequently, until shrimp turn pink, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  4. Stir shrimp, scallops, mussels, and parsley into tomato mixture; cook until sauce begins to bubble and mussels open, about 7 minutes. Pour sauce over linguine and serve.
