Ingredients
Scale
8 oz fettuccine pasta
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup seafood broth (or chicken broth)
1/2 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 lb scallops, patted dry
1/2 lb lobster meat, cooked and chopped
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Cook the Pasta:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/4 cup of pasta water.
Prepare the Seafood:
In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add shrimp and scallops to the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until shrimp turn pink and scallops are opaque with a golden crust. Remove the seafood from the skillet and set aside.
Make the Alfredo Sauce:
Reduce heat to medium-low. Add heavy cream and seafood broth to the skillet, stirring to combine. Simmer for 3–4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Whisk in Parmesan cheese gradually until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy. Add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Combine the Pasta and Sauce:
Toss the cooked fettuccine into the sauce, coating it evenly. Add reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
Add the Seafood:
Return the shrimp, scallops, and lobster meat to the skillet. Gently toss to combine, allowing the seafood to warm through (1–2 minutes).
Serve:
Divide the creamy seafood Alfredo among plates. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Notes
The sauce can be thinned with extra pasta water if necessary.
For a spicier version, increase the amount of red pepper flakes.
