Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and white wine. Stir to combine and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
Add the oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and let the sauce simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes to thicken and develop flavor.
Add the shrimp and mussels to the sauce. Cover the skillet and let the seafood cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and the mussels open. Discard any mussels that do not open.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve the red seafood sauce over cooked pasta, rice, or alongside crusty bread for dipping.
