Ingredients

• 12 pieces large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 12 pieces sea scallops (cleaned and patted dry)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
• 0.5 cup dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 8 ounces linguine pasta
• 0.25 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are just cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Sear the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and opaque in the center. Remove the scallops and set them aside with the shrimp.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 5

Deglaze the skillet with the dry white wine and lemon juice. Scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan and simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly.

Step 6

Stir in the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce. If the sauce seems too dry, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.

Step 7

Return the shrimp and scallops to the skillet, tossing gently to combine and heat through.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the fresh parsley, Parmesan cheese, and lemon zest.

Step 9

Divide the seafood scampi among serving plates and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with additional parsley, Parmesan, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
