Seafood Linguine Fra Diavolo
Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2007

Ingredients
2 tablespoons, plus 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, divided
1 pound linguine
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 sliced red jalapenos
3/4 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon Essence, divided, recipe follows
1 cup small diced onion
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
2 cups canned tomato sauce
2 tablespoons tomato paste

12 littleneck clams, scrubbed
1/2 pound mussels, scrubbed and de-bearded
1/2 pound calamari, bodies diced into rings, with the tentacles
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, optional

Directions
Bring a large 1-gallon pot of water to a boil, add 2
tablespoons of the salt to the pot and place the pasta in it. Cook, stirring
occasionally, until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain and then transfer pasta to a
large bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Toss to coat the pasta
well, then set aside.

As the pasta cooks, set a 14-inch saute pan over medium-high heat and add the

remaining olive oil. Once hot add the red jalapenos. Season the shrimp with 2
teaspoons of the Essence, add the shrimp to the pan and cook for 1 minute. Turn
the shrimp over and cook another minute. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set
aside as you prepare the sauce.

Place the onions in the pan and cook until wilted, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the
garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the red pepper flakes and
saute briefly before adding the tomato sauce and tomato paste. Cook the sauce
briefly, then add the clams to the pan. Cover the pan and cook the clams for 1
minute, remove the lid, add the mussels to the pan and replace the cover. Cook the
mussels for 2 minutes, remove the lid and season the calamari with the remaining 1
teaspoon of Essence before adding them to the pan along with the seared shrimp and
the pasta. Continue to cook the pasta, tossing to blend the pasta with the sauce,
and season with the remaining 1 1/4 teaspoons of the salt, about 2 minutes.

Garnish the pasta with the chopped parsley and cheese and serve.
