Ingredients

• 12 oz linguine pasta
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 shallot, finely chopped
• 8 oz raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 8 oz scallops
• 1 lb mussels, cleaned and debearded
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1 cup chicken or seafood stock
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and chopped shallot to the pan, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and translucent.

Step 4

Season the shrimp and scallops lightly with salt and pepper. Add them to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and slightly golden. Remove the shrimp and scallops from the pan and set aside.

Step 5

In the same pan, add the mussels and pour in the white wine and chicken or seafood stock. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that do not open.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium-low and add the heavy cream, crushed red pepper flakes, and freshly squeezed lemon juice to the pan. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently to combine.

Step 7

Return the cooked shrimp and scallops to the pan, along with the cooked linguine. Toss everything together, ensuring that the pasta is fully coated in the sauce.

Step 8

If the sauce is too thick, add the reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time to reach your desired consistency.

Step 9

Sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley, and adjust salt and pepper to taste.

Step 10

Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley and an optional lemon wedge on the side.
