Saturday Recipe

Here is yet another seafood recipe, they have been coming thick and fast lately and as I love them, I am sharing them with you. Not sure about cooking pasta without salt but I suppose you get a lot with the clams and clam juice.

Seafood Arrabbiata


Italian for "angry," arrabbiata is a spicy tomato sauce. For true fury, use 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper in this delicious seafood dish.

  1. I live far enough away from the beach that any seafood we have was flown in. They say it's just as good. But I don't see folks traveling from other places just to have our seafood.

    I act like that matters to me. I don't really like seafood very much. I mean, there are some things I like okay, but nothing that makes me all excited.

    So, with all that being said, the recipe looks good.

    1. Beaches with salt water are a minimum of 1,000 miles from us too. We don't find it "just" as good. However, we love seafood and usually bring back 20 lbs of shrimp when we return.
