This is a classic seafood pasta dish that you would find cruising the Amalfi coast in Campagna or just about any southern Italian region for that matter. The addition of the buddha's hand citrus isn't really Italian, yet citrus fruits are king in southern Italy. Because of this fact, this unique citrus fruit lends a wonderful floral fragrance of lemon to the dish that is absolutely delicious. Buddha's hand is in season from about November to January. If you can't find that, you can always substitute fresh lemons or even lemon grass if you come across it. The main thing here is to season the dish simply and let the natural flavors of the sea shine through.
