Servings: 3 people
Ingredients
- 1 lb (500g) Seafood Blend (shrimp, squid and scallops)
- 8 oz (230g) spaghetti
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 3 dashes ground black pepper
- 1 cup bottled clam juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1 teaspoon crushed red peppers
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice or to taste

Instructions
- Rinse the Seafood Blend with cold water, drain, and set aside. Pat dry with paper towels.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, then sauté the garlic until it turns light brown. Add the seafood blend and ground black pepper, stirring until they are halfway cooked. Next, add the clam juice, salt, crushed red pepper, and lemon juice. Adjust the flavor by adding more salt and lemon juice as needed.
- Transfer the spaghetti to the skillet and stir to combine well with the seafood blend. Add the cherry tomatoes and chopped parsley, mixing everything together. Turn off the heat and serve immediately.
Notes
You may use chicken broth if you do not have clam juice. For the Seafood Blend, I recommend Trader Joe's Seafood Blend. You may add mussels and/or clams to the seafood. You may also buy other frozen mixed seafood packet.
Add a few tablespoons of white wine to the sauce if you want.
