Ingredients:

Serving

6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 lb shelled and deveined jumbo shrimp (8 shrimp)
1 lb monkfish or 1 lb other firm white fish such as halibut, trimmed and cut into 8 pieces
kosher salt
fresh ground pepper
14 oz diced tomatoes, drained
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp flat leaf parsley, minced
1 serrano chili, with seeds, minced
1 tsp hot paprika
2 cups chicken stock
8 oz clam juice (1 cup)
1 pinch saffron thread
6 oz capellini, broken into 3-inch lengths (boiled for 3-6 minutes or until soft but not fully cooked)
lemon wedge, for serving

Directions:

In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil over moderately high heat. Season the shrimp and monkfish with salt and pepper and add to the skillet. Cook for 6 minutes, turning once, until barely opaque throughout. Transfer to a plate.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil over moderate heat. Add the tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic, 1 tablespoon of the parsley, the serrano chile and the paprika. Add the chicken stock, clam juice and saffron, season with salt and bring to a boil. Add the capellini and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is has absorbed most of the sauce, about 5 minutes. Return the shrimp and monkfish to the skillet along with any accumulated juices and toss well. Transfer the pasta to bowls and garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon of parsley. Serve with lemon wedges.
