Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the angel hair pasta according to package instructions, drain, and set aside while keeping it warm.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped shallots, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
Add the shrimp and scallops to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until they start to turn opaque, then transfer them to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the mussels and pour in the white wine. Cover and let them steam for 5-6 minutes until the mussels open. Discard any that remain closed.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream, fresh Angelica leaves, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cooked shrimp, scallops, and steamed mussels back to the skillet along with the butter. Season with salt and black pepper, and toss gently to combine and warm through for another 2-3 minutes.
Add the cooked angel hair pasta to the skillet, using tongs to gently toss and coat the pasta evenly in the sauce.
Sprinkle fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese over the dish. Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
