Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil divided
- 1 small sweet onion sliced
- 1-2 jalapenos chopped
- 4 cloves garlic chopped
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 cups seafood stock or use chicken stock
- 2-3 tablespoons El Yucateco Marisquera Red Seafood Habanero Hot Sauce or more to taste (I used half the bottle!)
- Juice from 1 small orange
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 12 ounces dried noodles use fideo, vermicelli, or similar noodles
- 1/2 pound shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1/2 pound large scallops
- 1/2 pound mussels scrubbed and debearded
- For Garnish. Chili flakes, fresh chopped cilantro, fresh squeezed lime juice, extra hot sauce
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large pan to medium heat. Add the onion and jalapenos and cook for 5 minutes to soften.
- Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, stirring.
- Stir in the seafood stock, El Yucateco Marisquera Red Seafood Habanero Hot Sauce, orange juice, Mexican oregano, and salt and pepper. Simmer the sauce for 20-30 minutes to let the flavors develop.
- While the sauce is simmering, boil the noodles in a pot of salted water according to package directions, about 10 minutes.
- Drain the noodles, but reserve 3/4 cup of the starchy pasta cooking water.
- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Season the scallops with salt and pepper, then sear the scallops for 1-2 minutes per side or until browned and cooked through. Remove the scallops and set aside onto a plate.
- Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes in the pan, or until pink and cooked through. Remove the shrimp to the plate with the scallops.
- Add mussels to the pan with the reserved pasta water, and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 4-6 minutes or until mussels open up. Discard any unopened shells.
- Add the shrimp, scallops, and mussels back to the pan along with the marisquera sauce and cooked pasta. Toss to combine and warm through.
- Serve into bowls, garnish, and serve.
