Seafood Linguine

So, my very good friend Dan bought me a cookbook for Christmas.  It’s called Mosh Potatoes, and it’s recipes from various Heavy Metal musicians, some more famous than others.  Dan had seen Julie and Julia, and suggested that I, like Julie in the movie, go through every recipe and bog about it.  So, here I am.

The first recipe I attempted was from C. J. from a band called The Wildhearts.  The seafood I used was a 1 LB bag of Trader Joe’s frozen Seafood Blend.  I’ve used this stuff before in different sauces and pasta and it’s good and quick and easy.

The recipe took about 30 minutes to prepare and turned out pretty good.  A little too much garlic (I doubled the amount of garlic specified in the recipe), and a little too thin.  I’ll probably use only a 1/2 can of water the next time I try it.  Also, I need to be more careful with the “splash of balsamic vinegar”, as I used a bit more than a splash.

The real test was Tracy, and she liked it so it was a winner!
