Frutti di Mare in Sherry wine sauce

Jump to recipe

While in Rome we had this fantastic dinner at a Seafood restaurant called Ristorante Sapore di Mare after walking back from the Pantheon.  I am a Seafood lover, and my favorite is Frutti Di Mare in red Marinara Sauce.

Seafood as Shrimp, Mussels and Calamari are suited best for this dish. Whole cream for white sauce, or if you like it red, Marinara sauce can be added.

The meal in the Restaurant in Rome was a slightly different version, with Sherry wine, and it was quite tasty.
