Ingredients
Scale
1 pound fettuccine pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound lobster meat, cooked and chopped
1 cup crab meat, lump
8 ounces salmon fillet, skin removed
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the salmon fillet with Cajun seasoning and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and flake into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Add the cooked fettuccine, lobster meat, crab meat, and flaked salmon to the skillet. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the Alfredo sauce.
You can also substitute shrimp for the lobster or crab if desired.
For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream and reduce the amount of butter.
