If you're after a quick yet impressive dinner, seafood pasta is your best friend. These five easy seafood pasta recipes are fast, full of flavour and perfect for week nights (or whenever you’re craving something light and delicious). Try the crab and saffron linguine that looks and sounds fancy but takes hardly any time, or a tomato and clam spaghetti where the clams practically cook themselves. For something rich and comforting, there’s garlic shrimp spaghetti drenched in buttery sauce or a retro-style creamy salmon spaghetti that’s dangerously moreish. And if you love big flavour, the tomato and crab spaghetti with a hit of XO sauce is a total winner.
Honestly no recipe that sounds this fancy has any business being this simple haha! But it is! This is all about the delicate flavour of the crab and a gorgeous saffron linguine. And yes that fancy presentation too (I'll explain how to do that too)!
I love clams - as the saying go "Happy as a clam" and that's me when I eat clams. Clams or pipis cook so quickly and they tell you when they're ready too when they open!
Honestly is there any better combo than garlic + butter? And then when you combine it with shrimp or prawns you have a delectably moreish dish. The only thing you need is fresh bread to mop up any of that garlic butter!
This is a bit retro but Mr NQN LOVES creamy spaghetti. He can eat an alarming amount of it. And this one is super easy and uses cold smoked salmon that stays that lovely, luscious texture.
I love crab, tomatoes and spaghetti and I make this 15 minute pasta more often than I will care to admit during summer! I also add my secret weapon that I always keep in the fridge: XO sauce! It's like having a superpower honestly ;)
So tell me Dear Reader, which pasta would be your first choice?
