Instructions

  1. 1 Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir in the chicken and garlic, followed by the sausage links. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is firm enough to slice, about 10 minutes. Slice the sausages into 1/2 inch thick pieces, and return to the pot.
  2. 2 Puree the stewed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, and tomato paste in batches using a blender. Stir the tomato mixture into the pot along with the shrimp boil. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Stir in the clams, mussels, shrimp, and scallops, then simmer 30 minutes longer. Remove from the heat, and allow to stand for 15 minutes.
  3. 3 While the jambalaya is cooling, bring a large pot of lightly-salted water to a rolling boil; stir in the angel hair pasta and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through but is still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink. Serve the jambalaya over the cooked pasta.

Instructions

  1. 1 Fill a very large stockpot fitted with a basket insert with about 8 quarts of water, or about halfway full. Squeeze lemons into the water, tossing the halves in too. Add onions, chiles, garlic, thyme, seafood seasoning, kosher salt, and bay leaves; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  2. 2 Stir potatoes into the pot and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
  3. 3 Next, add sausage and corn; cook another 5 minutes, making sure everything stays covered with the liquid.
  4. 4 Add clams and boil until they open, about 8 minutes. Toss in shrimp and shut off the heat. Cover the pot and let shrimp steep in the flavor for 10 minutes, adding crab in the last 5 minutes (press them into the liquid).
  5. 5 Drain and spread crab, shrimp, sausage, clams, corn, potatoes, and onions out on a newspaper-covered table or on three large serving trays. Sprinkle with a dusting of Old Bay or provide for individual use.

Instructions

  1. 1 Pour olive oil into a large pan over medium heat. Add garlic and crushed red pepper; cook until fragrant, 30 to 40 seconds. Pour in white wine and increase heat to medium-high. Let wine reduce by half, about 8 minutes. Add clam juice and reduce heat to medium-low. Pour in marinara, basil, and salt. Let simmer to let flavors marry, about 20 minutes.
  2. 2 Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  3. 3 Add shrimp, scallops, lobster, mussels, and clams to the sauce and cook until clams and mussels open, scallops are opaque, shrimp is pink, and lobster is red on the outside and opaque on the inside, 8 to 10 minutes.
  4. 4 Toss linguine in sauce until it's thick enough to coat the noodles (it will still be a relatively thin sauce), about 3 minutes.
  5. 5 Plate noodles and load up with seafood and sauce. Garnish with parsley, and serve immediately with Parmesan cheese.
