The reviewer gave this recipe 4 stars. This recipe averages a 4.44 star rating.

This recipe was very good. I was afraid it would taste too fishy (seafoody), but I was pleasantly surprised at how light and fresh this was. I made several changes: I used fresh spinach linguini. I also decreased fat to about 3/4 c total (splitting between oo and butter). I didn't use the whole jar of clam juice, I thought it was a bit much, and thickened the sauce a bit with heavy whipping cream (about 1/4c). At the end I mixed in a squirt of fresh lemon juice, along with the zest, and topped with shaved parmasean cheese and fresh basil, instead of parsley. YUM. My husband, who really doesn't like seafood all that much had seconds! He loved it.

amazing dish! does not take long at all to put this together. followed other reviewers' suggestions and used clam juice/white wine mix for sauce. reduced this and added little under 1/4 cup of cream. also added some red pepper flakes and a squirt of lemon juice. the lemon zest and juice add such a fresh, clean taste to this meal. served with a pinot grigio and baguette. beautiful and tasty!

I should start out by saying that it's not often that I rate a recipe 5 stars, but I would give this recipe 6 if I could! I did modify it a little bit though. First, I scaled the recipe to two servings; I reduced the olive oil to 2 generous Tbsp and used the correct amount of butter; I added a large(ish) shallot along with 3 cloves of garlic. Once this was softened in the oil, I added the clam juice and the shrimp and scallops and cooked them *almost* through. I removed the seafood and reduced the remaining liquid by half (the seafood gave off quite a bit of liquid). Then I added about 1/4 cup of 10% cream; added the seafood back to the pan along with the rest of the ingredients (I used about 1/3 cup chopped, dried sundried tomatoes which I'd rehydrated in some water) and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. I poured this over the pasta and added a grating of fresh parmesan cheese. The end result was absolutely delicious! It would also be a good dish to serve to company.

Very good sauce. I did not have all shrimp or scallops so I used three cans of clams instead. It was delicious! I will certainly try this recipe again with the proper seafood!

Not to thrilled with this dish! Could have had better flavor. It wasnt aweful, and my husband liked it but it wasnt anything to write home about! Probably wont make again. There are other recipes that we like much better!

Okay, the lemon zest didn't seem to fit, and I had to add more seasonings. I will make again, but only for myself. My husband didn't care for it at all.

Like this recipe a lot; if you have a Trader Joe's in your area, I used their Frozen Seafood Mix (shrimp, calamari, scallops)instead of just shrimp and scallops (because I love calamari!)and served it over TJ's garlic & basil linguine. Served it with a salad for guests and it was gobbled up!

Delish! I found this to be a light and refreshing meal, but all that butter and oil certainly didn't make it lowfat! I did reduce the amount of butter and oil. I really enjoyed the lemony flavor of the lemon zest. I will probably add more sun dried tomatoes the next time I make it.

This is tasty! Used much less butter and oil than the recipe called for and only used clams, shrimp, and a little cream at the end. Also added lots of mushrooms, and lots of crushed red pepper flakes. Tasted even better the next day.

This was excellent! Super Wonder Husband loved it too. I did sprinkle some essence on the shrimp after I cleaned them. Definitely a keeper!

This dish was descent. Doesn't have to much flavor to it though and I followed it to a tee. It's overrated if you'd ask me.
