Awesome Caroline.
Delicious. Everyone raves about it. Doubled everything and fed 6 people and 2 kiddos. Thank you for a wonderful recipe.
Hi Bee, is it possible to snap a picture of your “1 can (28 oz) whole peeled tomatoes” which you used in this recipe? Thanks.
Please do a Google search, there are plenty of brands for this product.
I used a combo of rotel and regular canned tomato sauce and added crushed red pepper and cayenne powder. My husband said it was the best meal he ever ate !
Awww, that’s so much Caroline, I am so glad you guys love my seafood pasta recipe.
This recipe was a hit with my family of picky eaters! This will definitely be staple in my home. Easy to prepare with lots of flavor.
This is the best seafood pasta ever!
I have a hard time with people who fail to read…Instructions are very clear. If you have cooked anything, you know you can adjust amounts and seasonings to your liking. And the idea of questioning your portions? Oh my. Get a grip. I can’t wait to try this, sounds terrific.
Thanks Alison. :)
How the heck can you put a recipe up and you don’t even list the ingredients besides the seafood in the pasta what about the spice what about how much of the spice preparation etc. Perhaps you were drunk when you posted this.all this time since you posted it you still haven’t corrected it!
David, it’s very obvious you are the one who is drunk. Did you scroll down the page? The recipe is right at the bottom of the page!
The hubs doesn’t like to de-shell his clams or his shrimp (well, in truth, even shelled, hubs would push shrimp off his plate, just not his thing) So………could I use canned whole clams??
Yes, you can.
Recipe looks really good but lately I can’t eat tomatoes, can I sub with pureed red bell peppers? Should I roast them before pureeing them?
Hmm, pureed red bell pepper is not a substitute for tomatoes.
