1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the linguine or spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque.
4. Add Mussels: Stir in the cleaned mussels and cover the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels open up.
5. Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken or seafood broth. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Add red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to taste.
6. Combine Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat it evenly in the creamy sauce.
7. Add Cheese: Sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese and mix until melted and incorporated into the sauce.
8. Garnish: Remove from heat and stir in the fresh parsley for added flavor and color.
9. Serve Immediately: Plate the pasta and seafood, garnishing with additional parsley and lemon wedges for squeezing over the dish.
