Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz linguine
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 lb fresh clams, scrubbed
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup chicken or seafood stock
- 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
In a large, deep skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter melts.
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the clams to the skillet and pour in the white wine. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, shaking the skillet occasionally, until the clams open. Discard any clams that do not open.
Remove the clams from the skillet with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the liquid in the skillet.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
Pour the chicken or seafood stock into the skillet and bring the liquid to a gentle simmer. Let it reduce slightly for about 5 minutes.
Return the clams and shrimp to the skillet, then add the cooked linguine. Toss to coat the pasta in the sauce. Add the reserved pasta water a little at a time if the sauce needs loosening.
Stir in the fresh parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley if desired, and enjoy!
