Recipes:
Salmon and Shrimp Fettuccine in Creamy Garlic Sauce
Ingredients:
8 oz (225 g) fettuccine pasta
2 salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp unsalted butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 tsp lemon zest
2 tbsp lemon juice
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions:
Cook the Pasta:
Boil a large pot of salted water and cook fettuccine until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Cook the Salmon:
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Place in the skillet, skin-side down, and cook for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Sauté the Shrimp:
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil.
Season shrimp with salt and pepper, then sauté for 2–3 minutes until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
Prepare the Garlic Cream Sauce:
Lower the heat and melt butter in the skillet.
Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in heavy cream, lemon zest, and Parmesan cheese. Simmer on low heat for 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
Combine Pasta and Sauce:
Toss the cooked fettuccine in the creamy sauce until well-coated.
Assemble the Dish:
Place the creamy fettuccine in a serving dish, top with cooked salmon and shrimp.
Garnish with fresh parsley and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
Chef’s Tip: For an added kick, sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes into the sauce. Pair this indulgent dish with a crisp glass of white wine.
