Ingredients

• 12 oz Spaghetti (soy-free, gluten-free if preferred)
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 8 oz Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 6 oz Scallops, rinsed and patted dry
• 10 oz Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cup White wine (or seafood stock for non-alcoholic version)
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 tsp Red chili flakes
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Lemon zest
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 3

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 have a golden crust. Remove the seafood from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the cherry tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes until they soften and release their juices.

Step 5

Deglaze the pan with white wine (or seafood stock if preferred), scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the liquid reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium-low and return the seafood to the skillet. Add the cooked spaghetti, red chili flakes, salt, black pepper, and reserved pasta water. Toss everything together to coat the pasta in the sauce.

Step 7

Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and fresh parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 8

Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
