👨‍🍳 Instructions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.

Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain.

Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Add shallot and bell pepper.

Cook until softened, 3 or 4 minutes; stir in garlic.

Add white wine and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Stir in canned clams, 1/2 of the reserved clam juice, and chicken broth.

Arrange fresh clams on the sauce.

Bring to a low simmer; reduce heat to low.

Cover and cook until clam shells open, 5 or 6 minutes.

Discard clams that do not open.

Stir in basil pesto and shrimp.

Heat through until shrimp are bright pink and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in remaining 2 tablespoons butter and chopped basil.

Distribute linguine among serving bowls; spoon clams, shrimp, and sauce over pasta.

Top with shaved Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
