Prep, prep, prep, prep. Cut up garlic and parsley, set aside. Put clams in bowl of water and TRUST ME scrub/soak to get grit out. Drink some wine!!!
Boil Rice Noodles (or any gluten free or regular) as package directs. Rinse with cold water and set aside.
Heat just enough olive oil over medium high-ish heat to sautee shallot. Sautee for a couple minutes just to heat up.
Add garlic and red pepper flakes. Sautee a minute or two till garlic THINKS it might turn brown
Add cup of wine, clams, and shrimp. It should be steaming and boiling COVER POT
Check in a couple few minutes. I cant leave anything alone so I do this about every 2 minutes.
When Clams are all open and shrimp is pink add butter and noodles to the pot
Stir carefully to combine and cover for 2-3 min again
Remove lid, let still cook add splash of cream. Stir to incorporate
This will still look soupy and it might stay that way. Dont worry its still delicious.
Turn off heat and let sit for a couple while you top with lemon juice if wanted and parsely
Top with grated parmesean cheese and serve with a bake french loaf.....YUMMMMY
