Ingredients

• 12 large Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 8 Sea scallops
• 12 Mussels (cleaned and debearded)
• 6 cups Baby spinach
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 0.5 cup White wine
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by seasoning the shrimp and scallops with salt, pepper, and paprika. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the shrimp and scallops to the skillet and sear for 2 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and opaque. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, stirring to deglaze the pan and scrape up any browned bits. Let the mixture simmer for 2 minutes.

Step 6

Add the mussels to the skillet, cover with a lid, and cook for 5 minutes or until the mussels have opened. Discard any that remain closed. Remove the mussels from the skillet and set them aside with the shrimp and scallops.

Step 7

Lower the heat to medium and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for 3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 8

Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 9

In a separate skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the baby spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until wilted.

Step 10

To serve, divide the sautéed spinach among four plates as a base. Top with the mixed seafood (shrimp, scallops, and mussels), and drizzle the creamy garlic-Parmesan sauce over the top.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with crusty bread or over pasta, if desired.
