This was the first time I made this recipe and it turned out really well! I have to say, it was SO good. And, spicy. Which I love! I had 2 bowls. Haha! This recipe was super easy to make. I would definitely recommend using a large pot so that there is extra room for stirring. There was only one thing missing.. BREAD! C'mon, Melissa, how do you forget the bread! Oops!
 
I used scallops instead of calamari because Wegman's did not have fresh calamari on the day that I went. I think the recipe came out perfect with the scallops.
 
Nello's Hot & Spicy Sauce makes this dish complete. This sauce is so flavorful and spicy. If Nello's Hot & Spicy Sauce is not near you, visit the RETAILERS list. If you visit Nellositaly.com, you can also enter to win sauce!
 
I found this recipe via Wegman's. If you do not have a Wegman's near you and you would like to try this recipe, you should be able to get their Hot Pepper Spread on their website. If you have any questions, please ask! :)
 
I am a "mombassador" for Nello's Sauce. I received free sauce :)
