Ingredients

• 12 oz fettuccine
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 0.5 lb sea scallops
• 8 oz lump crab meat
• 6.5 oz canned clams, drained
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/4 cup of pasta water.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and add the olive oil. Add the shrimp and scallops, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until they are opaque and golden. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 5

Gently fold in the cooked shrimp, scallops, crab meat, and clams. Heat for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm the seafood through.

Step 6

Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat in the creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, stir in a bit of the reserved pasta water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 7

Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side if desired.
