Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound linguine pasta
  • 1 pound mixed seafood (shrimp, scallops, mussels)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken or seafood broth
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the linguine according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water before draining.
  2. While the pasta cooks, season your mixed seafood lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant; do not let the garlic brown.
  4. Add the white wine to the skillet and let it simmer and reduce by half, about 2 minutes.
  5. Pour in the broth and lemon juice. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
  6. Add the seasoned seafood to the skillet. Cook until the shrimp is pink and opaque and the scallops are cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes, depending on size.
  7. Add the drained linguine to the skillet with the seafood and sauce. Toss everything together.
  8. Add the reserved pasta water, a little at a time, until the sauce coats the pasta nicely.
  9. Stir in the fresh parsley. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  10. Serve immediately for an elegant pasta dish.

Notes

  • For a richer sauce, substitute heavy cream for half of the broth measurement.
  • If you want to make this a creamy seafood pasta, stir in 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese at the end.
  • You can use frozen seafood; make sure it is fully thawed and patted dry before cooking.
