Fettuccine with shrimp & clams



This classic of Italian cuisine, flavored with fresh parsley and basil, is always a success. The success of the dish lies in the quality of the ingredients, which must be first choice. I prepared this dish a few months ago, but thinking about the menu I want to prepare an evening I remembered this dish that really left me satisfied. Here I used frozen clams with shells and Argentine prawns always frozen, are two ingredients that I almost always have in the freezer if you use fresh clams and fresh shrimp this dish will taste exceptional, already with the products I used it was very good.

If you use frozen products the times are very fast if instead you use fresh clams you have to consider the times to purge them it will take about 4 hours. You can also purge the clams a few days before, cook them first and freeze them before, so on the evening you just have to heat them up and it will become a quick and tasty dish at the same time. You simply have to try this recipe.

INGREDIENTS
  
250 gr of fettuccine
10 Argentine prawns
500 gr of clams
 400 g Cherry tomatoes
1/2 glass of white wine
parsley to taste
salt to taste
chili pepper to taste
oil to taste

GUIDELINES
 
Thaw the clams in a pan with a little oil and set aside. Clean the thawed shrimp and cook them with a little oil and a little chili. Divide the cherry tomatoes in half. Add the thawed clams, season with salt, stir in the white wine, let it evaporate. Cook the fettuccine in salted water, drain them al dente and season with the sauce based on shrimp and clams. Add the fresh parsley. And you can enjoy your plate of fettuccine with prawns, clams and cherry tomatoes.

Tips
If you do not like the chili you can omit it and leave your fetticcine with prawns, clams and cherry tomatoes a little more delicate. If you prefer to give a little more acidity to the dish, blend the clams with a little white wine.
