Shrimp and Lobster Fettuccine
This luxurious dish features perfectly seared shrimp and lobster served over creamy fettuccine pasta. It’s a perfect combination of flavors for a special dinner or to treat yourself to something indulgent.
Ingredients
For the Shrimp and Lobster:
8 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 lobster tails
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish
1 tbsp butter
For the Pasta:
8 oz fettuccine pasta
2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
2 tbsp butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
Cook the Shrimp and Lobster: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp and lobster with paprika, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed and cook the lobster tails, cut side down, for about 5-7 minutes until the meat is opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Make the Creamy Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and reserved pasta water, mixing until the sauce becomes creamy.
Combine the Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat in the creamy sauce. Add more salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the Dish: Plate the pasta and top with the cooked shrimp and lobster. Garnish with fresh parsley.
