Shrimp and Mussels in White Wine Garlic Sauce

Hey sis! I am back with a quick 30 meal that you can whip up on those busy school nights. This shrimp and mussels linguine in white wine garlic sauce is so flavorful because of the sauteed garlic and shallots and adding a bit of cooking wine takes this dish to the next level. I used frozen mussels in my dish but you can use fresh mussels if you would like. The shrimp and mussels take minutes to cook and the sauce can be made in about ten minutes. This dish even got a thumbs up from my 5 year old because she loved the flavor of the noodles but she passed on the mussels. She loves pasta and could honestly eat it everyday. I normally make some type of pasta about once a week because it is normally a dish that can come to very quickly and is always a fan favorite. Here's how to make it!
