Alfredo Seafood Fettuccine is a luxurious and creamy pasta dish that brings together the rich flavors of the sea with the comforting texture of fettuccine. This dish is perfect for a special dinner or when you’re in the mood for something indulgent yet easy to prepare. The creamy Alfredo sauce, made with butter, garlic, and Parmesan cheese, beautifully coats the pasta and seafood, creating a harmonious blend of flavors. The addition of shrimp, scallops, and crab meat makes every bite a delightful experience, giving the dish a sophisticated touch while still being approachable for home cooks.
Ingredients:
- 12 oz fettuccine pasta
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 8 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 oz scallops
- 4 oz crab meat
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions:
- Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the Seafood: While the pasta is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and scallops, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are opaque and cooked through. Remove the seafood from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
- Combine the Pasta and Seafood: Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce, tossing to coat the pasta evenly. Gently fold in the cooked shrimp, scallops, and crab meat until everything is well combined and heated through.
- Serve: Divide the Alfredo seafood fettuccine among serving plates, garnishing with chopped fresh parsley. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, zesty finish.
