Instructions

Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 12 oz pasta and cook for 8-10 minutes until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water and drain.
Step 2: Heat 3 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 6 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add 1 lb scallops and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and just cooked through.
Step 3: Add 1 lb shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque. Pour in 1/2 cup white wine and 2 tbsp lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for 2 minutes.
Step 4: Toss the pasta into the skillet, adding 1/4 cup reserved pasta water as needed to create a sauce. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped parsley and 1 tbsp lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper.
