A coastal-inspired seafood pasta made with tender linguine, succulent shrimp, and briny mussels in a garlic-white wine tomato sauce. Light, fresh, and perfect for special dinners.
8 oz linguine
¾ lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 lb fresh mussels, cleaned and debearded
2–3 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 shallot, minced
½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
½ cup dry white wine
1½ cups crushed tomatoes or cherry tomatoes
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
¼ cup chopped parsley or basil
Clean mussels and prep shrimp.
Cook linguine in salted water until just shy of al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water.
In a large pan, sauté garlic, shallots, and red pepper in olive oil.
Add white wine, then mussels. Cover and steam until opened (4–5 minutes).
Stir in tomatoes, then add shrimp and cook until pink.
Toss in pasta and a splash of pasta water to combine.
Finish with lemon, herbs, and olive oil. Serve hot.
Use gluten-free pasta if needed.
Add scallops or clams for variety.
Avoid overcooking shrimp and mussels — they cook fast.
