For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the seafood mixture while it's cooking.
Dry vermouth can be substituted for white wine, if preferred.

Fresh basil could be used in addition to, or instead of, the parsley.
Serve with a simple side salad and crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
