Ingredients

• 12 oz Linguine pasta
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 4 count Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 lb Jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 8 oz Sea scallops
• 8 oz White fish (like cod or halibut), cut into 1-inch chunks
• 1 tsp Sea salt
• 0.5 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.25 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 cup Dry white wine
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tbsp Italian parsley, finely chopped
• 1 count Lemon, juiced

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 3

Season the shrimp, scallops, and fish chunks with sea salt and black pepper. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until they are just pink. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, sear the scallops for 2 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Step 5

Add the white fish chunks to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, turning gently to avoid breaking them apart. Remove and set aside.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium and pour the white wine into the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Simmer the wine for 2-3 minutes to reduce it slightly.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and the remaining tablespoon of butter. Add the crushed red pepper flakes and let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Step 8

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and whisk until melted and incorporated into the sauce. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Return the shrimp, scallops, and white fish to the skillet, along with any juices they released. Toss gently to coat the seafood in the sauce.

Step 10

Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

Step 11

Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and sprinkle the chopped parsley on top.

Step 12

Serve immediately in bowls, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
