How to Make Shrimp And Scallop Arrabbiata

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and scallops; cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Remove from pan and set aside.
  3. Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the same skillet. Add onion, garlic, and fennel; sauté for 1 minute, until softened.
  4. Stir in pancetta and red pepper flakes; cook for 1 minute more, until pancetta is crispy.
  5. Add crushed tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  6. Return shrimp and scallops to the skillet. Stir in a little pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
  7. Toss cooked pasta with the sauce until well combined. Add more pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil.
