Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil spaghetti in salted water until just shy of al dente, about 2 min under package time. Drain and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Tear off two 18-inch sheets of parchment paper. Divide spaghetti, shrimp, and mussels evenly between them.

  3. Step 3

    Scatter garlic over seafood and pasta. Drizzle wine and olive oil evenly, then season with salt, pepper, and lemon zest.

  4. Step 4

    Fold each parchment sheet in half, then crimp and fold the edges tightly to seal completely.

  5. Step 5

    Place packets on a sheet pan and bake at 425°F for 10 minutes until parchment puffs and mussels open.

  6. Step 6

    Carefully tear open packets at the table, squeeze lemon juice over, finish with parsley, and serve hot.
