Ingredients:
For the seafood:
● 2 salmon fillets (skin removed, cut into bite-sized chunks)
● 8 oz large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
● 2 tbsp olive oil
● Salt and black pepper, to taste
● 1/2 tsp paprika
For the pasta:
● 12 oz fettuccine or linguine pasta
● 3 tbsp unsalted butter
● 3 cloves garlic, minced
● 1 cup heavy cream
● 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
● 1/2 cup chicken or seafood broth
● 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
● Salt and black pepper, to taste
● 2 tbsp chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Cook the Pasta:
● Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
● Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Seafood:
● Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
● Season the salmon chunks and shrimp with salt, pepper, and paprika.
● Sear the salmon first, cooking for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden and just cooked through. Remove and set aside.
● In the same skillet, cook the shrimp for 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside with the salmon.
3. Make the Alfredo Sauce:
● In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
● Pour in the heavy cream and broth, stirring to combine. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
● Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
● Add nutmeg (if using) and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
4. Combine Pasta and Sauce:
● Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss to coat, adding reserved pasta water as needed to achieve the desired consistency.
5. Add the Seafood:
● Gently fold in the cooked salmon and shrimp, allowing them to warm through in the sauce for 1-2 minutes.
6. Serve:
● Plate the pasta, garnish with chopped parsley, and sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese on top if desired.
Tips:
● Serve with a side of garlic bread or a crisp green salad for a complete meal.
● For extra zest, squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice over the seafood before serving.
