Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a large pot, heat 1 fl. oz. of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 5-6 minutes until golden and translucent. Stir in the crushed garlic, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant. Add the grated tomatoes, sweet paprika, and dried chili flakes, simmering for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly, then move it to the edge of the pot.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the spaghetti and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside, reserving a little pasta water.
- In the same pot with the sauce, increase the heat to medium-high and pour in the remaining 1 fl. oz. of olive oil. Add the shrimp, cooking for about 3 minutes on each side until they turn opaque and pink. Remove the shrimp from the pot and keep them warm.
- To the same pot, add the lemon juice and zest, fresh parsley, dry sherry, and a splash of reserved pasta water. Mix well and bring to a simmer. Add the cleaned mussels, cover the pot, and steam for 5 minutes or until the mussels open up.
- Gently fold in the reserved pasta and the cooked shrimp, stirring thoroughly to combine all the flavors with the sauce.
- Spoon the shrimp and mussels pasta into serving bowls. Garnish with lemon wedges and extra parsley, then drizzle with olive oil and finish with cracked pepper.
