Indulge in this creamy seafood pasta featuring shrimp and scallops, perfect for a cozy evening.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces fettuccine or linguine pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 pound scallops, patted dry
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Boil the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a roaring boil. Add the fettuccine or linguine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta, but reserve 1/2 cup of the starchy pasta water.
  2. Sauté the Seafood: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Once the butter is bubbling, add the shrimp and scallops. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and let them rest.
  3. Create the Creamy Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted, and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  4. Combine Everything: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat every strand. Gradually add reserved pasta water until desired consistency. Fold in the shrimp and scallops, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For an extra kick, consider adding more red pepper flakes or splash of white wine to the sauce.
