Ingredients:  
8 uncooked shrimp (16-20 per pound), peeled and deveined
6 sea scallops (about 12 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon seafood seasoning
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1-1/2 cups (about 3 to 4 ounces) small fresh mushrooms, halved
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
1/3 cup white wine or chicken broth
4 ounces of uncooked angel hair pasta
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, divided
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil

Directions:
Directions:
1) Pat shrimp and scallops dry; sprinkle with seafood seasoning.
2) In a small skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Cook and stir mushrooms for about 3 minutes. Add peas; cook until vegetables are tender, about 3-4 minutes. Remove. Add shallots and 1 tablespoon butter; cook and stir until starting to soften, 1-2 minutes. Stir in wine; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until ready to serve.
3) Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, cook pasta according to package directions; drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water. Return pasta to pan. Over low heat, stir in 1/4 cup parsley, garlic, pepper flakes, salt, mushroom mixture, and remaining butter, adding enough reserved pasta water to moisten.
4) In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add scallops and shrimp; sear until scallops are golden brown and firm and shrimp turn pink, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Combine with pasta and sauce; sprinkle with remaining parsley.

Personal Notes:
If you love seafood, you don't want to miss out on this beautiful dish. With angel hair pasta, sautéed scallops, and shrimp, this dish comes together perfectly. I created this tempting seafood pasta for my wife. It’s a terrific meal served with crusty sourdough. If you don't like spice, skip the red pepper flakes. —George
