A rich and creamy seafood pasta featuring tender salmon, juicy shrimp, and silky Parmesan Alfredo sauce tossed with fettuccine. This comforting dish feels restaurant-worthy but is simple enough to make at home.
📝 Ingredients
12 oz fettuccine pasta
1 lb salmon fillet, cut into bite-sized pieces
½ lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Lemon wedges (for serving)
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2️⃣ Cook the Salmon
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon pieces in a single layer and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Carefully remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
3️⃣ Cook the Shrimp
In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside with the salmon.
4️⃣ Prepare the Garlic Base
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
5️⃣ Make the Alfredo Sauce
Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Cook the sauce for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens and becomes creamy.
6️⃣ Combine Everything
Add the cooked pasta, salmon, and shrimp back into the skillet. Toss gently until everything is evenly coated in the Alfredo sauce and heated through.
7️⃣ Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a bright finish.
