Chicken and Shrimp Fusilli with Corn

2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 tsp sweet smoked or regular paprika
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
10 oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 2-inch pieces
8 oz uncooked extra-large shrimp, peeled and deveined
12 oz brown rice fusilli or whole-wheat fusilli
1/2 sweet or red onion, thinly sliced
1 sweet green pepper, seeded, quartered then sliced crosswise into thin strips
2 cups cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes, halved
1 cup fresh or frozen, thawed sweet corn
1 tsp dried basil
1 cup crumbled low-fat ricotta cheese

In large bowl, toss half the oil, garlic, paprika, salt and pepper.  Add chicken and shrimp, toss to coat.

Meanwhile, in large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until tender but firm. 8-10 minutes, drain and return to pot, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid.

In large deep skillet over medium-high heat, fry chicken and shrimp, stirring, until golden and just cooked through, 4-5 minutes.  Transfer to a clean bowl and return skillet to stove top.

Heat remaining oil in skillet over medium heat; fry onion, green pepper, tomatoes, corn and basil, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.  Return chicken, shrimp and any accumulated juices to skillet, along with pasta, ricotta cheese, and the reserved cooking liquid; heat through, tossing to coat, about 1 or 2 minutes.
