Does anyone have a recipe for a spicy,creamy seafood pasta?

Ok, here's the deal. A co- worker of mine brought some leftovers from home that her brother in law cooked for her. It was linguine(which I particularly don't care for too much) with scallops, shrimp, flounder and a bunch of other seafood. It was very good. It was spicy and creamy and it was so very tasty. I have made something similar to this but didn't actually taste the same or hold together the same. Usually when i make a creamy sauce and there are leftovers, the next day what happens is the butter starts to separate from the cream and its just an oily mess. Any suggestions? My friend said that her brother-in-law used oyster sauce in his recipe as well..Does anyone have a recipe for a spicy,creamy seafood pasta?
Some how I just can't picture oyster sauce in a cream sauce made with butter. This recipe sound good and you can spice it up with some crushed red pepper flakes. I will keep looking for the cream one.

You could try the recipe that is here. http://www.ichef.com/recipe.cfm/recipe/S鈥?/a> This looks very good. Its a spicy, creamy seafood pasta. No oyster sauce in it but it does sound yummy. Her brother inlaw sounds like me. I put oyster sauce in just about everything! lol





For reheating anything with cream in it, try on low power in the microwave instead of reheating in the pot. This usually works for me. :)
Just cheat and buy a jar of ready made Alfredo sauce. I've not been able to replicate it. (just don't tell!)
