Make this elegant and flavorful seafood pasta at home. This recipe features shrimp, scallops, and mussels in a rich, creamy white wine and garlic sauce, perfect for a date night or special dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound linguine pasta
  • 1 pound mixed seafood (shrimp, scallops, mussels, cleaned)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the linguine according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water before draining.
  2. While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the cleaned seafood to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp turns pink and the scallops are lightly browned. Remove the seafood from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the same skillet. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
  5. Pour in the white wine. Let it simmer and reduce by half, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  6. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and let the sauce gently simmer for 3-4 minutes until it slightly thickens.
  7. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  8. Return the cooked seafood to the skillet. Add the drained pasta and toss everything gently to coat with the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • For an easy seafood pasta recipe, use pre-cooked shrimp.
  • If you prefer a tomato-based sauce, add 1/2 cup of crushed tomatoes when you add the heavy cream.
  • This dish is excellent served with crusty garlic bread.
