📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the angel hair pasta according to the package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set the pasta aside.

2. In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter until melted. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.

3. Add the shrimp and scallops to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the scallops are golden on both sides. Remove the shrimp and scallops from the skillet and set aside.

4. In the same skillet, add the mussels and deglaze the pan with the white wine. Allow the wine to simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the mussels begin to open. Discard any mussels that do not open.

5. Add the chicken or seafood broth, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir to combine and simmer for 2-3 minutes.

6. Lower the heat to medium-low. Return the cooked shrimp and scallops to the skillet along with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir gently to coat the seafood in the sauce.

7. Add the cooked angel hair pasta to the skillet, tossing gently with tongs to coat the pasta in the sauce. If needed, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.

8. Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley and grated parmesan cheese, if desired.

9. Serve immediately, garnishing each plate with additional parsley or lemon wedges, if preferred.
