Ingredients

• 8 ounces linguine pasta
• 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 pound mussels, cleaned and debearded
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Lemon wedges for serving

How to Make Seafood Linguine

1. Cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
4. Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the mussels and cover the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened. Discard any that remain closed.
5. Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked linguine to the skillet. Toss everything together, adding reserved pasta water as needed to create a light sauce.
6. Stir in the fresh parsley and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use fresh seafood for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen, ensure it’s fully thawed before cooking.
• Don’t overcook the shrimp; they should be just pink and opaque.
• Reserve some pasta water to help bind the sauce; it adds flavor and thickness.

Easy Variations

• Swap mussels for clams or scallops for a different seafood experience.
• Add a splash of cream for a richer sauce.
• For a spicy kick, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce.

What to Serve With It

• A crisp green salad with a lemon vinaigrette.
• Crusty garlic bread for dipping in the sauce.
• A chilled glass of white wine, such as Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc.
