Cooking Mama's Cooking Challenge #64: Seafood Spaghetti

 Its seafood. Its spaghetti. Whats not to love?

Boil some pasta!

I wish i could find some fancier long pasta at lidl but I didnt. Plain ol' dried spag

Remove the pasta!

Spag goes out the pan (pro tip you can do all the other stuff while this is cooking.)

Peel the shrimp!

No prep necessary, I saved these nice big ones for this recipe though.

Cut the squid!

Im just gonna use the leftover tentacles from the fried squid recipe. Same flavour different shape.

Chop up!

Whats this... mamas... using garlic..!? In her cooking!?!?

Saute!

Frying the seafood with the garlic. Lot of water in them prawns, but the spaghetti will absorb it. Not like there's any other sauce going on this.

Saute!

We add in the pasta and fry it a little more, and add some salt and pepper to season, but im gonna take a liberty here and use an orange/salt/pepper seasoning mix instead to add just a little tangyness. There's also no rules against serving it with a bit of parmesan, so....

Finish!

****

Honestly you get a lot of bang for your buck with garlic, olive oil and pasta. Maybe some white wine and cherry tomatoes would have made this a bit more exciting. I think scallops or mussels would have been a better choice than squid, since those tend to be more soft and juicy and absorb the flavours well, but eh, this works.
