Ingredients:

For the Pasta:

• 8 oz (225 g) fettuccine or linguine
• Salt (for pasta water)

For the Alfredo Sauce:

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
• Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Seafood:

• 8 oz (225 g) salmon fillet, skin removed, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 8 oz (225 g) shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Pasta:
   • Boil Water: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine or linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
2. Prepare the Alfredo Sauce:
   • Melt Butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
   • Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, if using. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Cook the Seafood:
   • Sauté Seafood: In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the salmon pieces and shrimp with salt and pepper.
   • Cook Salmon: Add the salmon to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes, flipping halfway through, until it is cooked through and flakes easily. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
   • Cook Shrimp: In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
4. Combine Everything:
   • Mix Pasta and Sauce: Add the drained pasta to the Alfredo sauce, tossing to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.
   • Add Seafood: Gently fold in the cooked salmon and shrimp until everything is well coated in the sauce.
5. Serve:
   • Plate the Dish: Divide the Salmon and Shrimp Alfredo among plates.
   • Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Tips:

• For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the Alfredo sauce for a spicy kick.
• Pair with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.

Enjoy your Salmon and Shrimp Alfredo as a rich and creamy seafood pasta dish that’s sure to impress!
