Sure, here’s a delicious recipe for seafood pasta with mussels, scallops, and shrimp:
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces of linguine or your favorite pasta
- 1 pound of fresh mussels, cleaned and debearded
- 8-10 large scallops, rinsed and patted dry
- 8-10 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) of diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup of white wine (you can also use seafood stock or chicken broth)
- 1/4 cup of heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
- Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices) to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for another 5 minutes to cook off the alcohol.
- Add the mussels to the skillet, cover, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that do not open.
- While the mussels are cooking, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in another skillet over medium-high heat. Season the scallops and shrimp with salt and black pepper. Sear the scallops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Then, cook the shrimp for about 2 minutes on each side until pink and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Once the mussels are cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly, reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes if desired.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce and toss to coat evenly.
- To serve, divide the pasta among plates or bowls. Arrange the cooked scallops, shrimp, and mussels on top of the pasta. Garnish with chopped parsley.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious seafood pasta!
