Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté until onion is golden brown, about 6 minutes.
- Stir in flour and coriander and cook for 1 minute.
- Add white wine and whipping cream and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Add shrimp and scallops and simmer until shrimp are cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Mix in chopped parsley.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Pour the sauce over freshly cooked linguine and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a bit of heat, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes while sautéing the garlic. If you don’t have dry white wine, chicken broth can be a good substitute. Fresh seafood is ideal, but frozen shrimp and scallops can work too; just ensure they are fully thawed before cooking. Don't forget to reserve some pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this Seafood Linguine with a side of Italian Romaine Salad for a refreshing crunch. A sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top can enhance the flavors beautifully. Pair it with a crisp white wine, such as Pinot Grigio, for a complete dining experience. For a heartier meal, consider serving it alongside garlic bread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When reheating, do so gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of cream or pasta water to keep the sauce creamy and prevent it from separating. Avoid microwaving as it can overcook the seafood.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can definitely customize this dish! Feel free to substitute the shrimp and scallops with other seafood like mussels, clams, or even crab. Just ensure the cooking time is adjusted based on the type of seafood used, so everything is perfectly cooked.
How can I make this recipe lighter?
