To prevent overcooking, add seafood towards the end of the pasta cooking process and cook just until it's opaque and tender. It's crucial to not let delicate seafood, such as shrimp or scallops, cook for too long.
Fresh herbs like parsley, basil, and thyme work well with seafood pasta, adding a burst of freshness without overpowering the delicate flavors of the seafood.
Yes, frozen seafood is a convenient and often economical option. Just be sure to thaw it properly and pat it dry before cooking to avoid excess water in your pasta dish.
A crisp white wine like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc complements the light flavors of seafood pasta. For tomato-based sauces, consider a medium-bodied white like Chardonnay.
