8 uncooked shrimp (16-20 per pound), peeled and deveined
6 sea scallops (about 12 ounces)
1/2 TSP seafood seasoning
3 TBSPs unsalted butter, divided
1-1/2 cups (about 3 to 4 ounces) small fresh mushrooms, halved
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
1/3 cup white wine or chicken broth
4 ounces uncooked angel hair pasta
1/4 cup plus 1 TBSP chopped fresh parsley, divided
2 large garlic cloves, minced

Pat shrimp and scallops dry; sprinkle with seafood seasoning.

In a small skillet, melt 1 TBSP butter over medium heat.
Cook and stir mushrooms about 3 minutes.
Add peas; cook until vegetables are tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove.
Add shallots and 1 TBSP butter; cook and stir until starting to soften, 1-2 minutes.
Stir in wine; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until ready to serve.

Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, cook pasta according to package directions; drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water.
Return pasta to pan.
Over low heat, stir in 1/4 cup parsley, garlic, pepper flakes, salt, mushroom mixture and remaining butter, adding enough reserved pasta water to moisten.
