1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil and butter. Once melted, add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

2. Stir in the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

3. Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off.

4. Add the canned diced tomatoes along with their juice, stirring well. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes.

5. Stir in the heavy cream and season the sauce with salt and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer gently while you prepare the seafood.

6. Add the shrimp and scallops to the sauce, stirring gently to coat them in the sauce. Cover the skillet and let the seafood cook for 4-5 minutes.

7. Add the mussels to the skillet, cover again, and cook for another 5-7 minutes or until the mussels have opened (discard any that remain closed).

8. Squeeze in the fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Stir gently to combine.

9. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve immediately over cooked pasta of your choice, such as linguine or spaghetti.
