- Add 2 tablespoons of the butter to the pot you cooked the pasta in with the leeks on medium heat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

- Add in 2 more tablespoons of the butter and the flour, stir to combine with buttery vegetables.
- Add in the clam juice, heavy cream, milk, white wine, tomato sauce, and saffron threads, stirring well.

- In a large skillet add 2 tablespoons of butter on medium-high heat (reserve the last 2 tablespoons of butter for the topping).

- Sear the shrimp and scallops for 2 minutes on each side (until just cooked through).
- Remove the shrimp and scallops and add them to the pasta and stir.
