About Shellfish spaghetti

Shellfish Spaghetti is a flavorful pasta dish rooted in Mediterranean cuisine, often associated with Italian coastal regions. This dish combines al dente spaghetti with tender, nutrient-rich shellfish such as shrimp, mussels, clams, or scallops, typically sautéed in olive oil, garlic, and white wine. Fresh herbs like parsley and a hint of chili flakes are added to enhance the taste. The shellfish provides a lean source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential minerals like zinc and selenium, promoting heart and brain health. The olive oil contributes healthy fats, while garlic offers antioxidants. However, this dish can be high in sodium depending on seasoning and shellfish preparation. Variations with cream-based sauces or excessive cheese may add unnecessary saturated fat and calories. Pairing it with whole-grain spaghetti can boost its fiber content, making it a well-rounded, nutritious meal option.
