• 2 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tsp)
• 1/4 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
• Pinch of nutmeg (optional, for warmth)

For the Pasta:

• 8 oz fettuccine pasta (or linguine, tagliatelle, or your favorite pasta)

Optional Garnishes:

• Fresh parsley, chopped
• Lemon zest or wedges
• Extra Parmesan cheese
• Red pepper flakes (for a slight kick)

Equipment Needed

• Large pot (for boiling pasta)
• Large skillet
• Tongs or spatula

• Measuring cups and spoons
• Garlic press or knife
• Cutting board

Instructions

Follow these steps to create a creamy, seafood-packed Alfredo that’s sure to impress.

Step 1: Cook the Pasta

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to package instructions (usually 8-10 minutes for al dente).
2. Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water. Set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Salmon

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and let it shimmer.
2. Season the salmon fillet portions with salt and pepper. Place them in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden and flaky. Remove to a plate and loosely cover with foil to keep warm.

Step 3: Cook the Shrimp

1. In the same skillet, add the shrimp, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove to the plate with the salmon.
2. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4: Make the Alfredo Sauce

1. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine with the garlic. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, about 2-3 minutes.
2. Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, whisking until melted and smooth. Add black pepper and a pinch of nutmeg (if using). If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
3. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.

Step 5: Combine and Serve

1. Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing gently to coat in the sauce.
2. Flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces and return it, along with the shrimp, to the skillet. Gently fold to combine, warming through for 1 minute.
3. Divide the pasta among plates or bowls. Garnish with chopped parsley, lemon zest, extra Parmesan, or red pepper flakes if desired. Serve with lemon wedges for a bright finish.

Serving Suggestions

• As a Main Dish: Serve with a side of garlic bread or a crisp Caesar salad.
• Wine Pairing: Pair with a chilled Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio to complement the creamy sauce.
• For Guests: Present in a large serving bowl for a family-style meal, garnished generously.
• Light Option: Serve with steamed asparagus or broccoli for a veggie boost.

Tips for Success

• Don’t Overcook Seafood: Salmon should flake easily, and shrimp should be just pink to stay tender.
• Fresh Parmesan: Grate your own cheese for a smoother sauce; pre-grated can be grainy.
• Save Pasta Water: It’s a lifesaver for adjusting sauce consistency.
• Low Heat for Sauce: Avoid boiling the cream to prevent curdling.
