How-to
Prepare Garlic-Flavored Oil
-
In a medium-sized sauté pan, heat oil over medium-high heat and add garlic cloves
-
Allow garlic to flavor the oil for about 30 seconds, or until the garlic starts to brown
-
Remove cloves and oil is ready to add seafood
Cook Seafood & Sauce
-
Season seafood with a good, even sprinkle of salt and crushed red pepper flakes
-
Sear lobster, flesh-side-down in pan, about 1 minute
-
Add remaining seafood, lower heat to medium and add wine and parsley. Let reduce about 1 minute
-
Add tomatoes and simmer (low boil) 7-9 minutes. A good indicator is when the clams open. When this happens, cook 2 minutes longer
-
To serve, ladle or scoop into soup bowl or deep plate, drizzle with olive oil and serve with garlic-rubbed crusty bread
*Canned cherry tomatoes can be found in most Italian specialty food stores. You may substitute canned Roma tomatoes (also in juice), but be sure to crush them up a bit, as Roma tomatoes are much larger in size
