Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Pat scallops dry and season with salt and pepper. In a skillet on medium heat, add olive oil and 2 Tbsp of butter.

Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add 2 tbsp of butter. Cook on each side for 2-3 minutes. Squeeze over fresh lemon juice. Once shrimp are curled, remove and set aside. Add 2 Tbsp butter and white wine to the pan. Simmer and reduce by half. Season with salt and red pepper flakes. Right before adding the cooked pasta, add half the parsley in and stir. Add pasta and pasta water. Toss until combined and glossy. Add in shrimp and scallops. Gently mix together. Add an extra knob of butter to finish along with the remaining parsley and fresh basil.
