Creamy Seafood Pasta: A Quick Weeknight Meal

1 Shares

There are many days that I am left scrambling to make a meal at the last minute, and this creamy seafood pasta always delivers.

Most of this meal is always in my cupboards and freezer, although if you don’t have or like shrimp and scallops, feel free to use crab, canned tuna, or any fish you have on hand.

I hope you come back to this recipe many times and enjoy it as much as we do!

Creamy Seafood Pasta

You will Need:

A package of pasta (I like fettuccine)
1 Onion chopped
1-2 cans of New England Clam Chowder soup
1 can of clams (drain the liquid and save)
Seafood of your choice
I used 1 pound of shrimp and 1 pound of scallops
Olive oil to fry onions (or any oil you prefer)
Fresh chopped parsley (optional but recommended)

Directions

1.Put a pot of salted water to boil and cook pasta as instructed on box. Drain and put to the side. This should be done while the sauce is cooking

2.Chop up the onions

3. Put onions to fry in a pan with the oil on medium heat

4. Once onions are starting to soften add clams and continue to fry

5. When the onions are starting to brown add clam juice

6. Now add the cans of soup

7. Once the sauce is hot it is time to put in all of your remaining seafood. You don’t want to overcook your seafood so make sure you are watching it. Since I was using fresh shrimp and scallops I quickly turned off the heat when they became opaque. A note if you are using fresh fish try to not stir the sauce to much unless you don’t mind it flaking.

8. Add the pasta to the sauce, stir so that everything is incorporated and plate!

9. I like to add the chopped parsley at this point as I like the freshness it adds.

Bon appetite!

I’m not a huge fan of seafood so I’m not sure if I’d like this or not. It looks good but it depends on how mild (or not) it is. Is it very fishy?

This looks like a really good recipe and I’m agree I’d be using shrimp and scallops too because I don’t like clams or mussels
