Method
 

Cook the Pasta
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  1. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

Make the Sauce

  2. Stir in the Delallo Red Clam Sauce, baby clams, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Combine and Serve
  1. Add the cooked linguine and garlic butter shrimp to the skillet. Toss everything together to coat the pasta and shrimp in the sauce.
  2. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Serve
