Ingredients

• 12 oz angel hair pasta
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 lb sea scallops
• 1 lb mussels, cleaned and debearded
• 0.5 cup dry white wine
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 1 cup chicken or seafood broth
• 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter until melted. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the shrimp and scallops to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the scallops are golden on both sides. Remove the shrimp and scallops from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the mussels and deglaze the pan with the white wine. Allow the wine to simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the mussels begin to open. Discard any mussels that do not open.

Step 5

Add the chicken or seafood broth, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir to combine and simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium-low. Return the cooked shrimp and scallops to the skillet along with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir gently to coat the seafood in the sauce.

Step 7

Add the cooked angel hair pasta to the skillet, tossing gently with tongs to coat the pasta in the sauce. If needed, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley and grated parmesan cheese, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately, garnishing each plate with additional parsley or lemon wedges, if preferred.
