Easy Lobster and Fish Puttanesca

Sometimes dinner needs to come from a box or a tin or a jar, and be super quick. For this lobster and fish puttanesca recipe. You can have dinner in under 30 mins. I serve this dish over Zatarain's rice pilaf, but this dish is normally served with pasta and garlic bread. It can be served over veggies as well. If you love Tomatoes and Seafood, this is going to become your go-to meal. 
The original dish was invented in Naples in the mid-20th century and made typically with tomatoes, olive oil, olives, capers, and garlic. So we are sticking to the classic recipe for the most part. The fish and lobster are added in uncooked. The seafood will cook in the sauce and add additional flavor as it cooks.

These look so lovely! I love the idea of using pizza dough. We make TJ pizza all the time and often have like half a bag of dough left. Next time we do, I'll make these for breakfast the next day. Thanks for sharing :)
