Pasta
  • 8 oz fettuccine pasta Use fresh or dried pasta.
Seafood
  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined Use wild-caught for best flavor.
  • 1 cup lobster meat, cooked and chopped Store-bought is perfectly fine.
Sauce and Seasoning

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream For a rich sauce.

Method
 

Cooking the Pasta
  1. Fill a large pot with water, sprinkle in some salt, and bring it to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Sautéing the Shrimp

Adding Lobster and Garlic
  1. Toss in the minced garlic and chopped lobster meat. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes.
Creating the Sauce
  1. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently. Let it simmer until it thickens slightly, then stir in the Parmesan cheese until it melts.
  2. Season with salt and pepper.
Combining
  1. Add the fettuccine to the skillet, tossing everything together until the pasta is well-coated with the Alfredo sauce.
Serving

Notes

For a lighter version, use whole grain pasta or reduce the cream. When reheating, add a splash of heavy cream if the sauce thickens.
