I had some canned conch meat leftover from the other night so I decided to make a Fra Diavolo sauce and put it over linguine. At the supermarket today, I got some fresh squid and I realized I had some shrimp in the freezer, so I defrosted some.
 
 I put the whole thing together after I did a full search for a good recipe - my cookbook collection and the internet. I came up with something that had been sent to me in 2004 and I had never tried it. I should've.
 
 This was totally excellent.
 
 If you want it even  hotter, add more chile flakes or a really hot chile in with the marinara.

 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    4      tbsp          extra-virgin olive oil
    6      cloves        garlic -- crushed
    1      can           roma tomatoes -- (1 oz) San Marzano
                         preferred (1 to 28)
    1 1/2  tsp           salt
    1      tsp           crushed red pepper flakes
    6      medium        shrimp -- peeled & deveined
    1      cup           squid -- cut into rounds
                         tentacles -- if you desire

 In a large saucepan over MED-HIGH heat, add 2 tbsp of oil and the garlic. Cook for a few minutes until the garlic begins to sizzle. Remove pan from heat for a moment and add the tomatoes. Stir well. It will make a lot of noise and mess. That is expected. Place it back on the heat and stir well, cover, lower heat a bit and let it simmer for a few minutes. Add the salt and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir well. Bring to a boil. Lower heat, simmer for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally.
 
 Put a pot of water on the stovetop and bring to a boil. Add some salt and then the linguine. Cook according to pack
Drain well and place seafood sauce in pot with pasta, mix well and cook for a moment together.
 Serve.
