Absolutely stellar recipe! The Hubs said he would pay for it in a restaurant - that is the highest praise in our home. :-) Like others, I left out the sugar, the tomato paste, and cut the red pepper flakes to half of what the recipe calls for. I love spicy food, and would have used the whole measure of the flakes, but it had good heat and taste with half, plus was not too spicy for others. I used 2 cans (drained) of minced clams, and added them to the sauce as I started to cook the pound each of scallops and shrimp. Also used Turning Leaf Chardonnay as the white wine the recipe calls for. It's a definite keeper, and one I would make for company!

My husband and I were shocked at that heat in this dish, we found the amount of red pepper flakes called for takes away from the other flavours of this otherwise yummy looking dish. We recommend cutting the red pepper ingredient down and consider carefully how much heat you enjoy in your meal.

made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious and easy! I omitted the tomato paste and used less oregano like someone suggested-it was perfect!

I love this and the very tomato-y flavor. However, I did not use a tablespoon of red pepper flakes, more like a teaspoon -- plenty hot for me.

Great dish! I didn't used clams, and used frozen shrimp and scallops. Yet it was really delicious.

Fixed one half the recipe tonight for my girlfriend and me. I followed recipe very carefully except only used about half the red pepper (for her-not me). Fantastic. This is a keeper.

Very good. Paste did dry the sauce out. I changed it up a little. Left out the tomatos because I didnt have any and just used a can tomato sauce. Turn out very good and everyone liked it.

Great! Left out the tomatoe paste, sugar and used canned clams. Instead of olive oil I rendered a half pound of bacon. I used the bacon fat to cook the scallops and shrimp. The cooked bacon I used for garnish. To die for in more ways than one. This is an all time favorite.
