Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lobster tail, cooked and chopped
- 1/2 lb crab meat, picked over for shells
- 2 salmon fillets, skin removed and cut into chunks
- 12 oz fettuccine or penne pasta
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté the Salmon: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the salmon chunks with Cajun seasoning and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Set aside.
- Prepare the Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce thickens.
- Add Seafood and Pasta: Stir in the chopped lobster, crab meat, and cooked salmon into the Alfredo sauce. Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce until fully coated.
- Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot with extra Parmesan cheese.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add more Cajun seasoning to taste.
- Fresh seafood enhances the flavor, but frozen seafood works well if fresh isn’t available.
