Ingredients

• 12 oz fettuccine pasta
• 12 pieces large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 12 pieces scallops, patted dry
• 6 tbsp unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the rest and set the pasta aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp and scallops in a single layer.

Step 3

Sprinkle the shrimp and scallops with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook for 2 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium, then add the minced garlic to the skillet with 2 more tablespoons of butter. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the heavy cream and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Whisk the grated Parmesan cheese into the cream mixture until smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to thin it to your desired consistency.

Step 7

Season the Alfredo sauce with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 8

Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the sauce.

Step 9

Return the shrimp and scallops to the skillet, gently tossing with the pasta and sauce to combine.

Step 10

Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
