Instructions

  • Start cooking the linguine according to the package directions.
  • In a large wok, cook shallots in olive oil until tender, about 4 minutes.
  • Add garlic, red bell pepper, sausage, and celery, and cook until tender, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the mussels, scallops, wine, parsley, cilantro, and lemon juice. Cook uncovered until the mussels open up (about 8 minutes).
  • Remove the solids to a large bowl and remove mussels from their shells.
  • As you are doing so, add the cream to the liquid and boil the sauce until a reduction forms. Boil the remaining liquid until it thickens.
  • Add the cooked and drained linguine to the solids, and mix well.
  • Plate the noodles, and pour the remaining liquid over each portion to taste. Serve with garlic bread.
