Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup vodka
  • 1 (14 oz) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon or to taste red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 lb bay scallops
  • 1/2 lb peeled, deveined, and cut crosswise into thirds large shrimp
  • 1 lb uncooked linguine

Directions

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add the vodka and turn the heat up to medium-high; cook until the liquid has reduced by half. Add the tomatoes, cream, pepper flakes and salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the seafood and cook until just opaque, about 3 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of salted, boiling water over medium heat, according to package directions. Drain and transfer the pasta to a large bowl. Pour in the sauce and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
