Ingredients

- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 250 g large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 200 g scallops
- 500 g mussels, scrubbed and de-bearded
- 100 ml dry white wine
- 200 ml heavy cream
- 50 g grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
- 0.5 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0 to taste salt

Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine or spaghetti according to the package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the shrimp and scallops to the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and the scallops are golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add the mussels and pour in the white wine. Cover with a lid and let them steam for 4–5 minutes, or until the mussels open. Discard any that do not open.
Step 6
Turn the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, allowing it to simmer gently for 2 minutes. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and the sauce is creamy.
Step 7
Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) to taste.
Step 8
Return the cooked shrimp, scallops, and drained pasta to the skillet. Toss gently to coat the pasta in the sauce, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
Step 9
Garnish the pasta with chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
Step 10
Serve hot with additional grated Parmesan cheese and lemon wedges on the side.
