Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente, typically about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, drain the pasta in a colander and set aside while you prepare the seafood sauce.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic to the sizzling oil and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden.
  3. Pour in the white wine into the skillet with the sautéed garlic. Increase the heat slightly to bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow the wine to cook for about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Next, add the shrimp and cleaned mussels to the skillet. Cover the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels open and the shrimp turn a beautiful pink hue.
  5. Once the seafood is cooked through, carefully add the drained linguine to the skillet. Sprinkle in fresh herbs, salt, and black pepper. Gently toss everything together to coat the pasta in the flavorful sauce.
  6. Transfer the seafood pasta to serving plates. If desired, garnish with additional fresh herbs. Enjoy your culinary creation!
