Best Clam And Shrimp Spaghetti Recipes

SPAGHETTI WITH CLAMS

Steps:

• In a large pot, bring to a boil 6 quarts of salted water. Add pasta, stirring constantly in the beginning to prevent it from sticking together. Cook until al dente, about 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large saute pan. When almost smoking, add shallots and garlic and saute until soft and translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic. Add the clams and wine. Cover and simmer for 6 to 8 minutes or until most clams have opened.
• Add 2 tablespoons chopped parsley. Whisk in butter to thicken sauce slightly.
• Drain pasta in a colander. Do not rinse pasta with water - this will remove the pasta's natural starches. Place pasta into the clam saute pan and mix thoroughly. Check seasoning.
• Pour pasta into large serving bowl. Zest lemon over the dish, being carefull not to zest the white part of the lemon, which is bitter. Garnish with remaining parsley. Serve immediately.

CLAM AND SHRIMP SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet and add garlic and onions. Reserve a couple of tablespoons of the green part of the onion for garnish. Saute until nearly done. Drain Clams well into a measuring cup. You should get 1/4 to 1/2 cup of juice. Add clam juice, chicken broth and wine to the skillet. Add italian seasonings and bring to a rolling boil. Boil until sauce has reduced somewhat approximately 5 minutes, reduce heat to simmer. Continue to cook while pasta is cooking. If sauce is not to desired thickness you can add some parmesan cheese to help thicken the sauce or a little cornstarch mixture. I like to add about1/4 cup parmesan to the sauce. Sauce should be somewhat thin. When pasta has approximately 4 minutes until it is completely finished, add in the clams and the shrimp. Cook only until shrimp turns pink. Cover and set aside.
• PASTA:
• Prepare pasta according to directions. When finished rinsed lightly. You will want the pasta to retain some heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter which has been broken into smaller pieces, 2 tablespoons Italian seasonings and 1 cup of parmesan cheese. Blend well and cover.
• SERVE:.
• Divide pasta onto 4 dinner plates and top with sauce mixture, topping with parmesan cheese and a bit of reserved green onions.
• NOTES: If you like a lot of sauce with your pasta you can increase the sauce mixture to desired amount.

EMERIL'S SHRIMP, CLAMS, KALE AND PASTA

Steps:

• Set a large, 6-quart pot with water over high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, season with 1/4 cup of salt. Add the buccatini to the water and stir until the water returns to a boil, about 2 minutes.
• While the pasta cooks, set a large, 14-inch saute pan over medium-high heat and 3 tablespoons of the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the onions, 2 teaspoons of the salt, the crushed red pepper flakes and the garlic to the pan. Cook stirring until the onions are slightly translucent, and the garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the kale to the pan and allow to wilt slightly, about 30 seconds. Add the Soppressata to the pan and cook for another 30 seconds. Add the clams and pasta water to the pan and cook, shaking the pan until the clams just begin to start opening, about, 2 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes and yellow tomatoes to the pan. Cook until the clams are nearly completely opened, about 2 minutes longer. Season the shrimp with the Essence and add them to the pan. Cook until they begin to turn pink, about 1 minute.
• Remove the pasta from the water and add it to the pan with the clams and shrimp. Stir the ingredients in the pan and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and reseason with the remaining salt and fresh ground black pepper if necessary.
• Remove the pan from the heat and place on a large platter to serve. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese over top of the past and serve.

• Discard any clams that have not opened. Add half the parsley, and shake pan to distribute evenly. Transfer to a plate or bowl, and sprinkle with remaining parsley.
