📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Ensure all seafood (shrimp, scallops, and mussels) is cleaned and prepared properly. Pat dry the shrimp and scallops with paper towels.

2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

3. Add the scallops to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

4. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

5. Deglaze the pan by pouring in the white wine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

6. Add the mussels to the skillet and cover with a lid. Cook for 5-7 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until the mussels open. Discard any that do not open.

7. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, remaining butter, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).

8. Return the shrimp and scallops to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

9. Sprinkle the fresh parsley over the dish and give it a gentle stir. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.

10. Serve hot with crusty bread, pasta, or rice to soak up the sauce.
