Steps:
- 1. Pour a glass of wine for the cook, saving 1/4 cup for the recipe ;-)
- 2. Cook pasta in salted water till it's al dente. I make the lemon butter sauce while the water is coming to a boil because the sauce is very quick.
- 3. Saute onions in butter and olive oil on medium high heat until tender. Add shrimp and scallops and saute until shrimp just starts to turn pink and is almost done, but not quite. Overcooking the shrimp and scallops makes them very tough. Also the giant scallops take a long time to cook so I cut them in half to match the cook time of the shrimp if I can't find smaller ones.
- 4. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, white wine, salt and pepper and cook for a few more minutes till bubbly and seafood is done.
- 5. Pour lemon butter sauce over drained (NOT RINSED) pasta and toss with grated cheese and pine nuts. Serve and enjoy an amazing seafood pasta.
- 6. Trader Joe's market has their frozen seafood blend of peeled raw shrimp, scallops, and calamari that I normally use. If you can find a combo bag of shellfish like this at your local market it is both super delicious and easy, just defrost and pour in.

Steps:
- Make the shrimp: In a medium saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with the salt and pepper; add to the preheated pan in a single layer. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through. Set aside.
- Make the pasta: Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water. Meanwhile, whisk the olive oil, parmesan and lemon zest and juice in a large bowl to blend.
- Toss the pasta with the lemon sauce, shrimp and the reserved cooking liquid, adding it 1/4 cup at a time as needed to moisten. Season with the salt and pepper; stir in the basil. Garnish with the fried capers and more parmesan, if desired.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest seafood possible. Fresh seafood will have a bright, briny smell and firm flesh. Avoid any seafood that smells fishy or has a slimy texture.
- Cook the seafood properly. Seafood should be cooked quickly over high heat to prevent it from becoming tough. Overcooked seafood is chewy and flavorless.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your dish. Vegetables add color, flavor, and nutrients to your pasta dish. Choose vegetables that will hold up well to cooking, such as broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and zucchini.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. Lemon seafood with pasta is a classic dish, but you can easily change up the flavor by adding different herbs, spices, and vegetables. Try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick, or a handful of chopped fresh herbs for a bright, herbaceous flavor.
Conclusion:
Lemon seafood with pasta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give lemon seafood with pasta a try. You won't be disappointed!
