Cooking Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers. Add minced garlic, stirring frequently for about 1 minute until fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn it.
  • Pour in the white wine into the skillet with the sautéed garlic. Increase the heat slightly and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until it reduces.
  • Add the shrimp and mussels to the skillet, gently stirring to coat in the wine and garlic mixture. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes until the mussels open and shrimp are pink and opaque.
  • Carefully add the drained linguine to the skillet. Toss everything gently together until the linguine is well coated in the sauce. Mix in chopped parsley.
  • Plate the seafood pasta while it's fresh, garnishing with additional parsley if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Timing matters. Start boiling the pasta water while preparing the sauce. Fresh ingredients are key for the best flavor.
