Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to the package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining. Set the cooked linguine aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
Add the shrimp and scallops to the skillet, seasoning them with kosher salt and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and the scallops are golden brown. Remove the seafood from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the mussels and pour in the white wine. Cover with a lid and let the mussels cook for 4-5 minutes, or until they have opened. Discard any mussels that do not open.
Lower the heat to medium-low and return the shrimp and scallops to the skillet. Add the reserved pasta water, lemon juice, remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, and red pepper flakes. Stir everything together to create a sauce.
Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss to coat it evenly in the sauce. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Turn off the heat and sprinkle the dish with chopped parsley. Add grated Parmesan cheese, if desired, for extra richness.
Serve the seafood sauté with linguine immediately, garnished with additional parsley and a wedge of lemon, if desired.
