Ingredients

• 12 oz linguini
• 6 oz chorizo sausage
• 1 lb mussels
• 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 shallots, finely chopped
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1 cup chicken or seafood stock
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 tsp red chili flakes
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste black pepper
• 4 lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguini according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and drain the rest. Set aside.

Step 2

Rinse the mussels under cold water and remove any beards. Discard any mussels that are cracked or will not close when tapped.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until browned. Remove the cooked chorizo with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and chopped shallots, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate. Then add the chicken or seafood stock and red chili flakes. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Add the mussels to the skillet, cover with a lid, and cook for 3-4 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally. When the mussels open, remove them using tongs and set aside. Discard any mussels that remain closed.

Step 7

Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn pink and opaque. Remove and set aside with the mussels.

Step 8

Add the cherry tomatoes and cooked chorizo to the skillet, stirring to warm through. Return the cooked linguini to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. If the mixture is too dry, add a splash of the reserved pasta water.

Step 9

Gently fold in the cooked mussels and shrimp. Season the dish with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 10

Plate the linguini, mussels, and shrimp. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
