  • 60 ml Olive Oil
  • 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
  • 30 g Fresh Parsley, chopped

Prepare the Seafood

Ensure all seafood is properly cleaned. Rinse the shrimp, mussels, and clams thoroughly under cold water. Discard any mussels or clams that don't close when tapped. Slice the calamari into rings.

Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water before draining. Drain the pasta and set aside.

Sauté Garlic and Add Seafood

In a large skillet or pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic. Add the shrimp and calamari to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the shrimp turns pink and the calamari is slightly cooked.

Add Mussels and Clams

Add the mussels and clams to the skillet. Pour in the white wine and cover the skillet with a lid. Steam for 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels and clams have opened. Discard any that don't open.

Combine Pasta and Sauce

Add the cooked linguine to the skillet with the seafood and sauce. Toss to combine, adding a little of the reserved pasta water if needed to create a creamy sauce. Stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice.

Serve

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley and a lemon wedge.
