Recipe Summary:

  • Prep Time: 20 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Servings: 4
  • Skill Level: Intermediate

Ingredients:

  • 12 oz linguine
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 lb scallops, cleaned
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 3 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and then drain.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add cherry tomatoes to the skillet, stirring occasionally, and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften. Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer.
  4. Add the shrimp and scallops to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, turning the shrimp and scallops halfway through until they are cooked through and opaque.
  5. Sprinkle red pepper flakes (if using), and add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in lemon zest and juice. Let the flavors meld for another 2 minutes.
  6. Toss the cooked linguine into the skillet, mixing thoroughly to ensure the pasta is coated with the sauce. If the mixture appears too dry, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
  7. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in fresh parsley. Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan if desired.

Helpful Tips:

  • Substitutions: If you don’t have scallops, substitute them with another type of seafood like mussels or clams.
  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of broth or water to loosen the sauce.
  • Tip: For a creamier sauce, you can add 1/4 cup of heavy cream during the final step of cooking.

Complementary Dishes and Drinks:

  • Pair this dish with a chilled glass of Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc to enhance the seafood flavors.
  • Serve with a side of garlic bread and a fresh garden salad for a complete meal.
