Instructions

#Seafood has its own sweetness that is always delicious with the sharpness of lemon. Together with gently cooked garlic and fiery red chilli, this makes a classic sauce to toss through cooked pasta – use a thin pasta, such as spaghetti or linguine. There is no need to serve Parmesan with this dish. Let’s have a delicious spaghetti with mussels, prawns, lemon and garlic dinner together.# Scrub the mussels thoroughly and discard any that still gape open after cleaning. Put the wine and shallot in a large saucepan, bring to the boil and simmer for a few minutes. Add the mussels, cover tightly and cook over high heat for 4-5 minutes, shaking the pan 2 or 3 times, until all the mussels have opened. Drain, retaining the liquid and discard any mussels that haven’t opened. Shell the mussels, retaining a few in the shell for serving.
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, or according to the packet instructions.
Meanwhile, put the oil In a wide pan over very low heat and let warm. Add the chilli flakes and cook very gently for 2-3 minutes before adding the garlic. Keep the heat very low – the garlic should barely bubble and certainly not brown – and shake the pan from time to time. Allow about 5 minutes for the flavours to infuse the oil. Add the prawns and cook gently until they turn pink and opaque, then put them on a plate. Add the mussel cooking liquid, lemon zest and lemon juice to the pan and cook quickly to reduce by a few spoonfuls. Add the cooked mussels and prawns to heat through.
When the pasta is ready, drain, then toss it immediately with the seafood and parsley, adding a little extra lemon juice to taste. Divide between 4 serving plates or bowls, season with pepper and serve immediately with extra virgin olive oil drizzled on top.
