Total time: 35 min • Prep: 20 min • Cook: 15 min • Serves: 4 • Difficulty: Easy
A trio of delicious, affordable seafood comes together in this quick dish: shrimp, bay scallops, and canned clams. There’s lots of bright, sunny lemon—zest and juice—in the pasta, but we take the citrus goodness one step further by serving each bowl with a seared lemon half to squeeze on top of the pasta.
