Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 pounds sea scallops

  • 2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 1 pound calamari rings

  • 24 mussels, cleaned and debearded

  • 24 littleneck clams, scrubbed and rinsed

  • 3 (14.5 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes

  • 1 cup water

  • 2 (6.5 ounce) cans chopped clams

  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped

  • 2 tablespoons red pepper flakes

  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 2 (16 ounce) packages linguine pasta

Directions

  1. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir sea scallops, shrimp, and calamari rings in the hot oil until scallops and calamari are opaque and shrimp are pink, about 5 minutes.

  2. Bring a separate pot of water to a boil and add mussels and littleneck clams to the boiling water; cook until shells have opened, about 3 minutes. Remove shellfish and rinse with hot water.

  3. Pour crushed tomatoes, water, 2 cans chopped clams, 1/4 cup olive oil, onion, red pepper flakes, garlic, oregano, parsley, and salt into a large pot and bring to a boil. Stir cooked scallops, shrimp, calamari, mussels in shells, and littleneck clams in shells into tomato mixture. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 hour.

  4. About 10 minutes before serving, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook the linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes; drain and rinse pasta in hot water to prevent sticking. Serve seafood and sauce over pasta.
