Rock Shrimp and Fusilli Adriatic

graphic

From "'Marilyn, Are You Sure You Can Cook?', He Asked" (Ten Speed Press)

Serves 4

You will think you are eating something that was pulled from the Adriatic just five minutes before. I like to serve this with a simple bruschetta: just a toasted piece of rustic bread rubbed with a clove of garlic.

  • 1 pound fusilli pasta

    Bring a very large pot of salted water to boil for cooking the fusilli.

    Cook for about 8 minutes, or until soft (you do not want the pasta al dente for this dish)

    Drain well and turn out into a large, warmed mixing bowl.

    While the pasta is boiling, bring to a very slow simmer (small bubbles) in a saucepan:

  • 1 1/2 cups fish stock

    Add (to the fish stock) and simmer for 30 to 45 seconds only, until barely opaque (do NOT overcook):

  • 10 ounces shelled rock shrimp
  • 10 ounces scallops, halved crosswise

    With a slotted spoon, transfer the seafood to the bowl of pasta. Immediately add:

  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

    Toss quickly and thoroughly, getting the olive oil and juices well-distributed throughout the pasta. Immediately transfer to warmed plates for serving and top evenly with:

  • 1 cup firmly packed arugula leaves (about 1 ounce), cut into wide julienne
