This is kind of another one of those “cheater” recipes. Meaning I bought one of the ingredients pre-made, the sauce in fact. But that’s not too terrible I suppose.
Since starting my “healthier” diet 3 weeks ago, I’d been trying to eat fish at least once a week and other seafood at least once a week. This time, I put both together and got my fish/seafood allocation in one dish! It’d been a while since I had sea scallops as I was holding out, hoping they’d be on sale (they’re normally a little bit pricey). But the craving surfaced and I picked some up along with a little bit of cod that was on sale to put this all together.
The arrabiata sauce is from Dave’s Fresh Pasta once again. They recently expanded into another store about two months ago, becoming almost a one-stop shop for most cooking needs. More notably, there’s an expanded wine section, produce section, and meat/fish section. But I stuck with the bread and butter so to speak…sauce and pasta (Used the pasta in a different dish, to be posted at another time).
Seafood Fra Diavolo
Serves 4
Time : 30 minutes
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb sea scallops, halved
- 1/2 lb firm fish fillet, sliced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3-4 cloves garlic
- 24oz (Roughly) Arrabiata Sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 pound spaghetti (Used Bucatini)
Method
1. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan, medium high heat.
2. Add the garlic, give it a swirl, and add the onion about a minute later, saute until onion starts to soften slightly.
3. Add the sea scallops, give them about a minute or so to start cooking through, then add the fish. Be careful not to stir the fish too much, it WILL break apart on you.
4. As the fish starts to cook, pour the arrabiata sauce into the pan, let settle. Bring the pan to a simmer, carefully use a spatula to turn the fish if necessary.
5. Serve over pasta
