Best Sarasotas Seafood Spaghetti In A White Winetomato Broth Recipes
CLAMS AND SPAGHETTI WITH SPICY TOMATO BROTH
Many Italian recipes call for simmering fish and shellfish in "acqua pazza," or crazy water. It's a quick way to make a small amount of tasty broth, and obviously more flavorful than cooking fish in plain water would be. Every cook makes it differently, but most recipes involve olive oil, tomato and a pinch of crushed red pepper. Garlic, parsley, capers, lemon and even smashed anchovy could also be part of the mixture. The end result is the perfect year-round medium for cooking fish fillets or shrimp or to serve as the base for a brothy bowlful of clams and spaghetti. It takes only a few minutes, and the cooking liquid, conveniently, is also the sauce. Basil leaves and fresh cherry tomatoes, halved and drizzled with olive oil and salt, give the dish a summery feel.

Steps:
- Set a large pot of water on a back burner over medium-high heat, covered, so it is ready and boiling when it's time to cook the pasta.
- Put a wide Dutch oven or deep heavy-bottomed skillet with a lid over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil. When the oil is hot, add onion, and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes, until softened and lightly colored.
- Stir in chopped green garlic, bay leaf, hot pepper and thyme sprig. Stir to coat and let sizzle. Season mixture generously with salt and pepper. Add tomatoes and wine, and bring mixture to a brisk simmer, stirring. Simmer 5 minutes, then taste and adjust seasoning. Thin with water if necessary: You don't want it to be too thick.
- Salt the pasta water and cook the spaghetti at a rapid boil until al dente - usually a minute or 2 less than instructions on package.
- Add clams to Dutch oven or skillet, turn heat to high and put on the lid. Stir clams with a large spoon a couple of times (to help heat disperse evenly) and replace lid. They should take 5 to 6 minutes to open. Once all clams are open, turn off heat and leave to rest, covered, for a few minutes.
- Drain pasta and, using tongs, divide among 4 to 6 bowls. Using a large slotted spoon or tongs, top pasta with an equal amount of clams. Ladle all remaining broth in the pot over each serving.
- Season halved cherry tomatoes with salt and a little olive oil. Spoon seasoned cherry tomatoes over top of the bowls.
- Sprinkle with chives, parsley and basil leaves. Serve.

SARASOTA'S SEAFOOD SPAGHETTI IN A WHITE WINE/TOMATO BROTH
This is a really nice, elegant, but quick cooking meal even for a week night. Now, it is NOT the cheapest dinner by any means, but it will easily serve 4-6 hungry adults. So, add a nice fresh salad, hearty bread to soak up the sauce for a great dinner. A couple of notes: Frozen shrimp and scallops are fine for this, just thaw completely and make sure to dry the scallops well, so they are not water logged. Also, you are spending the extra money for seafood, make sure to add all 3 of the tomatoes (sundried, fresh and paste) and by all means use fresh herbs. This is really what makes the dish good. I prefer shrimp, mussels and/or clams, scallops, and optional lump crab meat; but you can use squid and lobster or any combination you prefer.

Steps:
- Seafood -- First thing to do is prepare your seafood. Now my seafood counter sells clams or mussels that are very clean, but I still come home and rinse them well. I put mine in a colander in a bowl or water, so any sand debris will sink to the bottom. and make sure they are all closed. If they aren't -- tap them a couple of times and they should close up; if not, toss them. Shrimp, peel, devein and remove the tails if you want. Scallops, I set on a paper towel to dry, especially if they were frozen once. And finally if using crab, check for any shells and leave in nice large pieces. I love the crab, but that is optional. I can fine a couple of good canned brands but also fresh, just depends what you like.
- Sauce -- Start the sauce first as the seafood will be added in at the end and it doesn't take long. I use a very large saute pan as you will be adding the pasta to this pan. Add the olive oil and bring to medium heat. Add in the onion, red pepper flakes, and garlic. Saute 2-3 minutes until the onions are slightly tender. Then add in the white wine to deglaze the pan and cook just a minute. Then add in the tomato paste (start with 1 teaspoon), sundried tomatoes and vegetable broth (start with 1/2 cup) and let it simmer about 4-5 minutes.
- Pasta -- Cook the pasta according to package directions, drain well and set to the side to keep warm while you finish the seafood.
- Seafood -- Check your broth to see if you want to add that additional 1 teaspoon of tomato paste. Then add the mussels to the pot along with the cherry tomatoes. Cover and simmer about 4 minutes until the mussels start to open. Then add in the scallops and shrimp; and crab meat (if you decide to use that) and stir well to make sure every thing is mixed in with the broth. If you want a little more broth, add the remaining 1/2 cup at this time. Cover again and cook 3-4 minutes, just until the shrimp turn pink and just start to curl, and the mussels are open.
- Finish -- Toss the pasta into the pan with the seafood along with the parsley and basil and season with salt and pepper. Go easy with the salt as the broth and seafood are salty. Toss everything well. Garnish with a drizzle of good olive oil. Parmesan is another garnish if you like. Some people like parmesan with seafood, others don't. Just a personal preference.
- Serve -- There will be a nice broth, so I serve this in bowls along with crunchy bread to soak up some of the juice. Add a nice salad for a wonderful dinner. ENJOY!

SARASOTA'S FLORIDA BOILED SEAFOOD POT
I know everyone has seen a low country boil with sausage, corn, potatoes, onions, etc. Well this is Florida's answer to a Seafood Low Country Boil ... and their version. I have been doing this for some twenty years. Now, I will give you my recipe to serve 12, but just cut it in half or a third and add what you want. This recipe isn't about exact amounts, but more about the method and order of cooking. These are what I like to add, but if you don't like or can't afford the lobster, add more snow crab, shrimp, clams or mussels. So don't worry, what ingredients you have, but follow the order that everything is cooked. My ingredients include: onions, potatoes, corn on the cob, kielbasa or smoked sausage, artichokes, lemons, lobster tails, clams, mussels, snow crab and shrimp. Don't think you need a lobster tail per person, but I do 1/2 corn cob and 3 small potatoes per per person and 1/2 sausage (more sausage if I know there is not a lot of seafood lovers) and then the seafood. So this is my process for 12. I cook mine for this amount in a turkey cooker with water, beer and Old Bay seasoning, The turkey cooker than has a strainer so it is easy to drain, but a small pot on the stove will work for a small group of 3-4. Remember ... Rule of thumb 2-3 small red potatoes, 1/2 - 1 sausage link, 1 artichoke heart, 1/2 cob of corn, 1/2 onion, and then seafood per person, so just add what you can. Personally, I could eat 2 lobster tails, my dad 1 lb or more shrimp, and my best friend, all the mussels, so just do a little of everything, and I think they will be all very happy. Now, it sounds like a lot, but the entire dinner cooked in one pot. Just melt some butter, cocktail sauce on the side and a some grilled or baked bread. Cover your table with newspaper and pour it all in the center and let everyone just help themselves. Simple paper plates. We eat everything with plastic, except for a crab cracker and small pick to get the crab meat out. Rolls of paper towels on the table and just relax and have fun. You can also add some sour cream for the potatoes, salt and pepper of course and maybe some dijon mustard for the sausage if you wanted, but there is so much flavor I never find that necessary, but add what you like. Don't try to make it fancy ... just enjoy. When done, pack up the leftovers and plates right in the center of the table, wrap up the newspaper and throw away. NO DISHES!!

Steps:
- Method -- The only method to this is layering, One or two layers of an ingredient, cook a bit, then the next layers, cook, etc., it is very easy. Drain, serve and enjoy! The only prep, is cutting the onions and lemons. When I buy my seafood, I also make sure the fish guy cleans my mussels and clams so I don't have to worry about that when I get home, but I do rinse them just to be safe but I don't have to clean them, just a quick rinse is all they need. The rest you can just throw inches.
- Rinse and brush your potatoes well. Now large ones, I cut in half, medium to small, I just leave whole, either way. Cut the large onions in half, thaw the artichokes and quarter your lemons.
- Boiling Liquid -- Add the beer and water to equal 6 quarts along with 3/4 cups Old Bay and bring to a boil.
- As it starts to boil reduce the heat to medium high and add in the onions and potatoes and cover. Add 1-2 lemon wedges. Cook 5-7 minutes.
- Then add in the corn (cobs cut in half, silk cleaned), also the sausage links cut in 1/2 or 1/3'rds, cover again for 5-7 minutes.
- Then add in the artichokes and a couple lemon wedges, topped with lobster, mussels, clams, crab and more lemon and cover again, about 10 more minutes until the mussels and clams begin to open.
- If you need more water, add another 3 quarts and 2/3 cup Old Bay and turn to high and bring to a boil, covered, and then reduce back to medium. Just keep an eye on the clams and mussels. When they start to open is when you want to add the shrimp.
- Add the shrimp and the remaining lemon wedges, squeeze a couple on top of the shrimp, cover, and cook until the shrimp are pink and they begin to curl.
- Turn off the heat. DONE! Just lift up the strainer, or drain if just using a pot on the stove or grill and pour everything on the table.
- It is the best meal ever, and fun. Now, I make a spicy cocktail sauce and a garlic herb butter, but use what you like. Grill or just bake some bread to soak up the butter sauce and enjoy with the seafood. I served some roasted tomato soup with this once which was really good and then just a fresh tomato bread salad another time, so please serve what you like, but it is so much fun. And I say this serves 6 possible 8-10 depending of your guests, so have fun what you add.
