Spicy Shrimp and Lobster Linguine
1 tbs olive oil
3 onions, chopped
6 garlic cloves, chopped
28-oz can diced tomatoes
1/4 cup dry red wine
2 tbs chopped fresh oregano, or 2 tsp dried
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp coarse-ground black pepper
1 lobster tail
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
3/4 lb dried linguine
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Heat olive oil in very large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, then add onions and garlic.
Saute 10 minutes until golden. Add tomatoes, wine, oregano, crushed pepper, salt, sugar, and ground pepper. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes until flavors are blended and sauce is slightly thickened.
Meanwhile, remove meat from lobster tail and cut it into 1/2-inch pieces. Add lobster and shrimp to sauce and simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes until just opaque.
Meanwhile, cook linguine according to package directions. Drain and place in a large serving bowl.
Toss at once with sauce and sprinkle with parsley. Yield: 6 servings
(Note: I know that this seems pricey, but if you shop the way that I do — markdown bin — it can be affordable… Just purchase ingredients as you can and when all are available…throw this recipe together.
Trust me, managing my budget…it may take three months or so to gather the ingredients from the mark-down bin [and my freezer] to prepare such a tasty meal! LOL!
