Ingredients:
2/3 pack angel hair pasta (12 oz pack)
1/2 bottle (10 oz.) pasta sauce
4 oz. rock shrimp
1/2 lb mussels
6 shrimp
2 calamari (cut into rings)
Italian sweet basil
8 cherry tomatoes (cut into halves)
3 gloves garlic (finely chopped)
1 tablespoon oyster sauce (or salt to taste)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Dried parsley flakes
Method:
- Bring water to boil in a pot and add in the mussels. As soon as all mussels are open, transfer the pot to the sink and drain the water. Rinse the mussels with cold water to get rid of foams. Set aside the mussels.
- Bring water to boil in a pot. Cook the angel hair pasta according to the instructions on the package.
- While boiling the pasta, heat up a deep saute pan with some olive oil.
- Saute the garlic for 30 seconds.
- Add in all seafood except the mussels.
- Once the seafood are cooked, add in the mussels and cover the saute pan for about a minute.
- Add in oyster sauce (or salt to taste). Lower the heat to low.
- Drain the cooked angel hair pasta and divide them equally into 3-4 servings.
- Dish out the pasta sauce and pour it on top of the angel hair pasta.
- Garnish with cherry tomatoes, sweet basil leaves, and spinkle some dried parsley flakes on the dish. Serve immediately.
Cook’s notes:
- I used Prego brand traditional pasta sauce for this dish.
- See my new napkin? Isn’t it cute? $2.00 each at Target!

Seafood Dynamite Recipe
I am not sure if this is an authentic Japanese recipe, but this is certainly one of my favorite eat-out dish when I dine at Japanese restaurants. This dish is usually called Seafood Dynamite, or Baked Seafood in Dynamite Sauce, or something along that line. In any case, it’s basically baked assortment of seafood—usually baby shrimp, bay scallop, clam, etc.—…
Thai Coconut Galangal Seafood
If you follow this blog, you know that I recently discovered WorldFoods (from my mie goreng post) and am working with them on a couple of recipes. Previously, I posted a Cambodian Lemongrass Shrimp recipe. This is another recipe that I would like to share with you using another WorldFoods ready-made sauce—Thai Coconut Galangal Stir-Fry Sauce. This sauce is a…
Deep-Fried Fish and Seafood Galore
One of the things that I miss most about Malaysia is the availability of various kinds of little fishes in the market; little fishes that I grew up eating, little fishes that need no special recipes, little fishes that taste like heaven when deep-fried with just a little salt and turmeric powder or tamarind, little fishes that are so crispy…

Fruits of the sea *chuckles*…Now where’s that box of Kleenex :) Napkins made by my employer? Hahaha..
Beautiful dish! I’m drooling!! I always have some homemade tomato sauce in my freezer, and now that the basil is starting to grow in the herb garden, I’m all ready for this recipe.
wahhh…looks so gorgeous! Wanna try this soon…maybe tonight….u’ve started a craving!!! hehehe.
Ok! I am a vegetarian and have nothing to comment on the recipe. But, it is easy to make pasta in sauce look gross. You have done an admirable work in taking such a luscious photo!
Definitely worth the wait…soooo delectable. You won’t want my drool all over or it will dirty your new napkin. ;) The 料 so much that cannot see the pasta (can pass off as paella) …definitely more than 5-star. Your shrimps fresh from the tank? Recently I got myself some Florida Key West Pink Shrimps too.
Tell you what…why don’t you move back to Malaysia and start cooking these for us back home to eat! You’re killing us with your recipes! Droolicious!
I love seafood! That looks quick and simple to make! Just don’t wear a white shirt when eating that ;-)
my favourite, my favourite!!!!!! and WOW…… so beautiful!!!!!!

Looks like more ingredients than noodles. Yummy!

What a lovely dish!
Wow! good food and great pic..Just make pasta for son#1 with prego sauce with only chicken meat and button mushroom.No mussels.. etc..next time will try your recipe.. thanks for sharing..
Nice photos! Thank you for your comment on my blog. Have you tried out making pandan chicken?
Keep up the good work of you blog!
I wish I had you as a roommate in college. I wouldn’t have gained the “Freshman 15″…more like Freshman 50 with all of the second helpings. :p
wah … this is exactly I’ve been dying for. Shiok!
Great photos. Love the dish too.
Did you take the pictures yourself? The pasta looks DELICIOUS! I always try to make a sophisticated pasta dish but it never turns out as good looking as this one!
i love pasta and i love seafood – so what a great combination. unfortunately i don’t cook. so just hope that one day someone would cook it for me or can try something like this in a restaurant (it wouldn’t be the same as home-cooked food of course)
Great photos yet again….THAT’S IT! I wanna move to the States to be your neighbour!
Very nice, although I would have used canned tomatoes and mashed them in the can to make sauce. Bottled sauces tend to have lots of sugar in them.
A luxury seafood pasta! I bet it’s better than some so-called Italian restaurants here! :)
Unkaleong – haven’t u learned your lesson by now? Have your Kleenex tied to your neck the next time…hehe.

Suganya – wow, a vegetarian commented on my non-vegetarian dish. Thank you!
Tiga – where did you get the Key West Pink shrimp, sounds so exotice, I must try. Tell me where to go them pronto! I will try them when I come back from Asia.
Pablo – OK, you will hire me to work for you then I go back and be your neighbor. Hehe.
Wokandspoon – you are right…I always stain my shirt whenever I eat tomato sauce pasta. LOL.
Mei Yen – my favorite my favorite, too! :)
Joe – yes, it is very easy to make.
Tummy – this is “keh liao” one…of course ingredients more than noodles. Wahahaha.
Teckiee – exactly, I do not like pasta when they are all pasta and no ingredients/topping…boring.
Bayi – hehe…I warned you so.
Claude – can you make a butter sauce pasta and share with me the recipe? I want to learn. ;)
East Meets West – thank you.
Sweet Jasmine – cool, I hope your son would love my version.

Mmm this looks sooo good! I’m drooling and hungry.
Pasta with seafood is an unbeatable combination. Looks really rich, Bee.
Hi! Found your site through Christine of Ramblings of a Gypsysoul…wow! It’s awesome and so happy I stumbled on it! This is the type of pasta my husband would love — tomato-based and with seafood…I’m bookmarking it right now! Thanks for sharing it :)
This must be first pasta dish I’ve come across on the blog. We call it Spag Marinara here. I prefer making the sauce from plum tin tomatos, onions and fresh basil. If you like something a bit tasty try Putanesca sauce- anchivies, garlic chilli, olives, capers, diced fresh tomatoes plus the tomato sauce. Oh yes the bak kut teh turned out a bit fishy. Mustn’t have washed the cuttle fish properly. Will try again soon. Manged to locate a Chinese medicine shop that sells the BKT ingredients. Love the colours as usual. Cheers.
Wow, that looks really good. I always go to the Greek diners on Friday afternoons for the spicy seafood pasta dish because the Greeks don’t eat meat on Friday.
Looks divine! and I just love how angel hair pasta “soaks” up all the sauces.
aiyoyo. lao nuah liao leh…
Everyone seems to like Prego eh. The other day, my cousin also said she uses Prego.
When Pablo hire you, you all open branch in Spore too lah, then we get to eat. hehe…
This pasta dish looks really good… I like it.
Ciao.
The Key West Shrimps are from Wholes Food leh. They are wild, harvested from the waters of Key West (thus not farm-raised) but they are frozen,too bad :( I have not cooked them yet so not sure if they will taste good. But I’m keen to try something from the other sea loh! ;)
Hey, I just bought myself LIVE SPOT prawns from R99 today! LIVE as in still alive in the waters and they are WILD. As good as it gets man! Still flapping when I brought them home. If you see them in R99, it will surely be a better bet for an Udang lover like you…hahha. A bit steep @$13.99/lb but definitely worth the bite :D
Hey RM! your pasta looks amazing! As always, I love that youve used seafood, especially those juicy prawns. This dish is simply mouth watering!
I like pasta especially with Seafood but my family don’t, so I hardly cook it. Your pasta is so good it made me soo hungry!!
I have linked you, if you dont mind.

yr recipe including yr very own foolproof pixs before general release meaning u airfly all yr ready cookings ( such as above ) for our test and a ok.
OK ?
I think that the addition of oyster sauce must have kicked it up a notch, because the pasta looks so gorgeous and the color is so much “deeper” than regular pasta sauce. This sounds like a great and relatively time-efficient meal. And I DO love those Target napkins!
ahhh, i make the mistake of reading your blog when i’m hungry.
the pasta looks so yum!
wow
look awesome and delicious
don know how i got this webby
but look nice
my stomach is starving now

by the way….i have never send you the recipe of the green oil sauce…oups. I have to find it again and I promise I will send you..after LA..and if you need others recipe, just ask ;-) Cheers
Nice, share my favorite pasta sauce with you. Pomi, You can get it at Vons/Ralph’s. Totally different from Ragu. Pomi is not acidic and you can feel the made from scratch freshness. With basil and a magical pinch of sugar to bring out the flavor. Out of the three, I prefer the chopped tomato for the texture.
