Seafood pasta

I kind of made this one up after reading several seafood recipes and my experiment worked out so I want to remember it now! Serves 2: 1 for me, 1 for mike.

Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1/2  lb mussels, scrubbed
• handful of small scallops
• 12-15 shrimps
• 1/2 Gluten Free spaghetti noodles 
• 1/2 green beans
• 10-12 grape tomatoes
• 4 garlic cloves
• 1 shallot, diced
• 6 Basil leaves, roughly diced
• Salt & pepper to taste

I learned how to cook mussels for the first time! This is where I learned how to clean them:  http://allrecipes.com/howto/cleaning-mussels/

Directions:

1. Cooked the pasta noodles al dente. Rinse under cold water immediately to prevent overcooking and set aside.
2. Meanwhile, boil water in a medium pot, add 1 garlic clove and all the green beans. Boil until cooked, then strain and set aside.
3. Meanwhile during cooking the pasta and beans... In a large pan, add 1/2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tbsp butter, 1 clove of garlic and 1/2 of diced shallot. Saute until garlic browned, then add shrimp. Once shrimp cooked, remove shrimp. 
4. In the same pan, add an addition 1/2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tbsp butter, 1 clove of garlic & rest of diced shallot. Saute until garlic browned, then add scallop. fry until cooked (about 3-5 minutes), then set aside.
5. In the same pan, add additional 1/2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tbsp butter, 1 clove of garlic. Add mussels to pan, cover mussel with butter garlic mixture. add 1/3 cup water and bring to a simmer, cook covered for 5 minutes. 
6. Once mussels cooked, add the basil, tomatoes, green beans, shrimp, scallops to the pan. Salt and pepper as desired. Once mixture is cooked, it's time to eat!
