Add the tomatoes, cream, pepper flakes, and salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the seafood and cook until just opaque, about 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of salted, boiling water over medium heat, according to package directions. Drain and transfer the pasta to a large bowl. Pour in the sauce and toss to combine. Serve immediately.

This is one of my favorite seafood pasta dishes! Bubba outdid himself on this one & I felt like a professional chef when everyone raved about it. Be sure you allow the liquid to reduce by half & use crushed tomatoes, otherwise your sauce won't thicken as its supposed to. The first time I made this dish,my grocery store was out of crushed tomatoes so I had to use diced instead. I mashed the heck out of the diced tomatoes, but there was too much liquid and my sauce didn't thicken. You gotta give it a try!! :-

I kind of re-worked this recipe as I went. I did not have the shrimp or cream. I started with a caramelize diced onion then added the garlic, pepper flakes, 1 tsp. capers and tomatoes. It is tomato season so I used 22 oz. of blanched tomatoes from the garden instead of a can. My scallops were small so i just added them at the end of cooking and turned the heat off. I also added 1/3 cup of sour cream instead of cream before serving. It was wonderful!
