Step 1
Cook the 8 oz linguine in salted boiling water until al dente, about 9 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.
Step 2
Heat the 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the 3 minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Add the 1 lb clams and 0.5 lb shrimp to the skillet. Cover and cook until clams open and shrimp are pink, about 5-7 minutes. Discard any unopened clams.
Step 4
Toss the cooked linguine with the seafood mixture, adding reserved pasta water as needed to create a light sauce. Stir in the 0.25 cup parsley and serve immediately.
Step 5
Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
