Salmon Shrimp Alfredo Recipe

1. Prepare the Pasta:

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  2. Cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Cook the Salmon and Shrimp:

  1. Season the salmon and shrimp with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the salmon and shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. Make the Alfredo Sauce:

  1. In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
  2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
  3. If using, add the white wine and lemon juice to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
  5. Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.

4. Combine Everything:

  1. Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce, tossing to coat.
  2. Gently fold in the cooked salmon and shrimp, being careful not to break up the fish.
  3. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until everything is heated through.

5. Serve:

  1. Divide the pasta, salmon, and shrimp among serving plates.
  2. Garnish with chopped parsley and halved cherry tomatoes, if desired.
  3. Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips:

  • For a lighter version, you can use half-and-half or milk instead of heavy cream, though the sauce may not be as rich.
  • Feel free to add your favorite vegetables, such as spinach or peas, to the Alfredo sauce for added nutrition and flavor.
  • Serve with a side of garlic bread or a simple green salad to complete the meal.

This Salmon Shrimp Alfredo is a luxurious and satisfying dish that is perfect for a special dinner or when you’re craving a comforting pasta dish. Enjoy!
