Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 pound linguine pasta
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
• ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro or flat-leaf parsley
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Clam Sauce

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• ¼ cup chopped onions
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1 cup white wine Pinot Grigio
• 1 cup vegetable stock or chicken stock
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 lb. Manila clams scrubbed clean

Shrimp

• 8-12 large wild shrimp deveined, washed & dried
• 1 ½ tablespoon olive oil
• 1 garlic clove minced
• ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Garnish

Instructions

 

• Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite (8 to 10 minutes). Drain and transfer to a large serving bowl. Add the butter and cilantro and toss until coated. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Sauce: In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, salt & pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until aromatic. Add the wine and simmer until the liquid has reduced by half (2-3 minutes). Stir in the broth, red pepper flakes & clams. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and cook until all the shellfish have opened (5 to 8 minutes).
• While the clams cook, heat a pan over medium high heat, add the oil and warm through. Add the garlic, peppers, s&p and cook for 30-60 seconds. Add the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes, flip and cook for 2 minutes more.
• Discard any unopened clams.
• Using tongs, remove the clams from the saucepan and add to the shrimp pan. Pour 1/2 the shellfish cooking liquid over the pasta and toss well. Pour the remaining liquid over the shrimp and clams. Arrange the reserved clams, shrimp & sauce on top of the pasta and serve.
• Serve with lemon wedges and chopped cilantro.
