Making Seafood Linguine with Garlic Butter is simple when you follow these steps:

1. Cook the Linguine: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of the pasta water.

2. Melt the Butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.

3. Sauté the Garlic: Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

4. Add the Seafood: Stir in the shrimp, mussels, and clams. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the shrimp turns pink and the mussels and clams begin to open.

5. Incorporate White Wine: Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off and the flavors to combine.

6. Season the Dish: Add red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to taste.

7. Combine Pasta and Seafood: Add the cooked linguine to the skillet. Toss everything together, adding reserved pasta water as needed to achieve the desired sauce consistency.

8. Finish with Herbs: Stir in the chopped parsley, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix well to combine all flavors.

9. Serve Immediately: Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
