Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

ingredients
12 ounces dried linguini pasta, cooked al dente & well drained
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup minced shallots
1/2 cup vodka
1 can (14 ounce size) diced tomatoes, drained
2/3 cup heavy cream
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 pound large shrimp, shelled & deveined (thaw if using frozen)
1 pound bay scallops, rinsed & patted dry with paper towels
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley or use basil
freshly grated Parmesan cheese
additional freshly ground black pepper
directions
In a 6-quart sauce pan or pasta pot, cook the linguini in salted boiling water until al dente.
In the meantime, prepare the sauce. In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. In it, saute the garlic and shallots for 2-3 minutes or until shallots are softened. Add vodka, increase heat to high and simmer for 3 minutes or until the vodka is reduced by half.
Add the drained tomatoes, cream, salt, freshly ground black pepper and red pepper flakes and continue to simmer for 4-5 minutes or until sauce thickens.
Add the shrimp and cover and cook for 1 minute. Add the bay scallops and cover and cook for 2 minutes more. Stir in the chopped parsley or basil along with the linguini. Cook, tossing the pasta for 2 minutes or until the pasta has absorbed some of the sauce. Serve topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and additional freshly ground black pepper to taste.

This recipe was easy and amazing. The vodka seemed to reduce to fast, but maybe my skillet was too big. I would recommend this to anyone who loves pasta and seafood

I love this recipe! I was craving for shrimp and scallop ala vodka from carabba's and found this recipe.Easy to make and delicious. I don't like alcohol so I used white grape juice instead of vodka...

This recipe was fairly easy and it was sooooo good. The sauce was creamy and had really good flavor. My husband loved it too. I didn't have any red pepper flakes so I did without that one ingredient. Even if you don't care for fish you will like this as there is no fishy taste to it.

This was absolutely fantastic! The sauce was subtle and much lighter than I expected. I wish there had been a little more of it, however, so it would have coated the pasta just a bit more. The combination of shrimp and scallops provided nice texture and flavor. Pretty much any of the amounts in the recipe can be tweaked to suit your preferences.
