This dish is fantastic! I added the full teaspoon of Chili flakes which was perfect. I used 3 frozen tomatoes from last fall’s harvest which were really flavourful plus I added 2 teaspoons of tomato paste, and a splash of white wine. Because this reminded me of a favourite restaurant meal, I also added snow peas right at the end. We were blown away at the flavour from this dish. I will definitely make it again.

We loved it! I added fresh basil and onion. Easy dish but delicious!
Victor Osborne
It was okay, kinda bland, and i added basil.
Jennifer Payne
Only change I made was skipping the scallops & doubled the shrimp…not a scallop fan. Delicious recipe, will definitely make again. Thanks for sharing!
James Boyd
Loved this!! I added mushrooms and onions. Delicious!!
Erica Jones
One of the easiest recipes to date. Very happy with overall taste. I would suggest spicing up shrimp when pan frying. I will be adding garlic to pan.
Raymond Chase

I made this recipe and added 1/2 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning to the tomato sauce. We loved it!

I did scale it down to 2 servings. The garlic was a little over powering, I will just cut about 1/3 of the garlic next time but overall it was a very good dish.

This is a good base recipe, and I used it to build what I was looking for. Added chopped onion, basil and oregano, zucchini and peppers, and a splash of red wine (I used the cooking wine as we rarely drink). Omitted salt as there is lots in the tomato products. I used canned Marzano type and some red pepper stewed tomatoes as fresh is pretty expensive where I live. A definite great choice for the menu rotation!

This was another fabulous pasta dish. I did use medium shrimp since I couldn’t find any small shrimp. I didn’t see red pepper flakes mentioned in the directions, so I skipped it. Why is it listed there? I also use one skillet to cook the sauce and the seafood. I also passed on the parsley too. I would make it again.

Made this for a birthday dinner and used shrimp & scallops. It was very good but deducted 2 stars because the measurement on the hot pepper flakes was so high in the written recipe. We love spicy and I only used 1/4 tsp. which was more than enough, anymore and the spice would have overwhelmed the delicate flavors of the seafood. Thank you for sharing your recipe….
Sharon Salazar
Made like recipe. Next time fresh tomatoes probably.

Excellent! It was easy to do and made a great Friday night meal. It had a bit of kick, but not too much and was incredibly flavorful. My husband isnt one to rave about seafood and pasta but he loved this!
Laura Jensen
Easy to prepare. Restaurant quality.
Nicole Welch
Yum!
Gabrielle Johnson
I used the recipe as written. The taste was like a great cioppino!
Latasha Wood
Tried this recipe for my husband. He fell in love with this dish at an Italian restaurant we used to frequently visit years ago. He says it tastes just as good as he remembers. Only change I would make is I might add just a pinch more red pepper to give a little more heat. Great recipe and it was very easy!

1. Double the garlic 2. Use about 1 additional cup of the canned SM tomatoes (whole peeled tomatoes that I chop). Can use two of the smaller cans. 3. I use 1-1.5 pounds of scallops and 2/3 pound of shrimp. 4. Top with Pecorino Romano cheese. 5. Amazing
