# How To Make It:
01 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine until just al dente according to package instructions. Reserve ½ cup pasta water, then drain and set aside.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and shallot; sauté until fragrant and soft, about 2 minutes. Add red pepper flakes if using.
03 - Increase heat to medium-high. Add shrimp and sauté for 1 minute per side until just turning pink. Remove shrimp to a plate and set aside.
04 - Add clams and mussels to the skillet. Pour in the white wine, cover, and cook for 3–4 minutes until shells begin to open. Discard any that do not open.
05 - Add stock, bring to a simmer, and cook uncovered for 2–3 minutes. Return the shrimp to the pan.
06 - Add cooked linguine, reserved pasta water, butter, lemon zest, and juice. Toss everything together over low heat until pasta is coated and seafood is heated through. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley and lemon wedges.
