Step 1
Boil spaghetti in salted water until al dente, about 9 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Cut two pieces of parchment paper (12×16 inches). Place each on a sheet pan. Fold in half lengthwise, then unfold to create a crease.
Step 3
Divide cooked spaghetti between parchment halves (left of crease). Top each with half the shrimp, clams, minced garlic, and oil.
Step 4
Pour 1/4 cup white wine into each packet. Season with salt and pepper. Fold parchment in half and crimp edges tightly to seal.
Step 5
Bake at 425°F for 10 minutes, until parchment puffs and clams open (discard any that stay closed).
Step 6
Carefully open packets (steam will escape). Sprinkle with parsley and lemon zest. Serve in packets with crusty bread.
