At the heart of this recipe is a simple and cheap recipe for a basil tomato sauce, which I intend on using often. I suspect she used the clam juice because this would typically be a seafood pasta where clams and mussels would be cooked as well, which would make its own (better tasting juice. That being said, here's how I changed it:

Used pancetta instead of bacon. Then skimmed out some of the fat and added extra virgin olive oil as needed to cut down on the fat. I used half and half instead of cream as well. I sauteed/steamed some mussels in a separate pan with some pancetta and added them in individually when the shrimp goes in to the main pan. This covers the clam juice ingredient and in my opinion is much more appealing to a wider audience. It's also easier than lobster on the wallet. Also, as always, I added in a bit of crushed red pepper flakes for some heat. Something I always do with my pastas.

I prepared last night and it was fabulous! Absolutely enjoyed the seafood medley in this wonderful cream based sauce. First time preparing a sauce with bacon fat and was so savory. Followed most of the recipe but used half the amount of bacon - think with the full pound the flavor would have been dominated by the bacon. My hubby loved it - will make again!!
