Lobster and Shrimp Alfredo
This indulgent dish combines succulent lobster, flavorful shrimp, and creamy Alfredo sauce over tender fettuccine pasta—a true seafood lover’s dream!
Ingredients:
1 lobster tail
8-10 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 oz fettuccine pasta
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions:
Cook the Lobster Tail:
Preheat your oven to broil.
Cut the lobster tail shell down the center to expose the meat. Brush with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and broil for 8-10 minutes or until fully cooked.
Cook the Shrimp:
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp, season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, and sauté for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
Prepare the Alfredo Sauce:
In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute).
Lower heat, add heavy cream, and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Cook the Pasta:
Boil fettuccine pasta according to package instructions. Drain and toss with Alfredo sauce.
Assemble the Dish:
Plate the Alfredo pasta and top with the shrimp and broiled lobster tail. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve immediately with a side of garlic bread and a crisp white wine for an elegant meal.
Pro Tip:
Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the seafood for a bright, tangy finish. For extra richness, stir in a tablespoon of mascarpone cheese into the Alfredo sauce.
