Ingredients:
For the Seafood:
- Lobster tail (cooked and chopped): 1 tail (about 6-8 oz / 170-225 g)
- Fresh crab meat (lump or claw): ½ cup (about 4 oz / 115 g)
- Salmon fillet (cooked and flaked): 1 cup (about 6 oz / 170 g)
- Olive oil: 1 tbsp (for cooking)
- Salt and pepper: to taste
For the Alfredo Sauce:
- Butter: 4 tbsp (½ stick)
- Garlic (minced): 4 cloves
- Heavy cream: 2 cups (480 ml)
- Grated Parmesan cheese: 1 cup (100 g)
- Salt: ½ tsp
- Black pepper: ¼ tsp
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
For the Pasta:
- Fettuccine or linguine: 12 oz (340 g)
Instructions:
- Cook the pasta:
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about ½ cup of pasta water. - Prepare the seafood:
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. If your lobster, crab, and salmon are not cooked, sauté them in the skillet until cooked through and heated, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the skillet and set aside. - Make the Alfredo sauce:
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. - Add cheese and season:
Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season the sauce with salt and black pepper. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency. - Combine pasta and seafood:
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce, tossing to coat evenly. Gently fold in the lobster, crab, and salmon, heating everything together for 1-2 minutes. - Serve:
Plate the Lobster, Crab, and Salmon Alfredo, garnishing with chopped fresh parsley. You can also sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese on top if desired.
Tips for Success:
- Seafood quality: Use high-quality seafood for the best flavor. Fresh or frozen seafood can work well; just ensure it is properly cooked before adding to the dish.
- Pasta alternatives: You can use any pasta you prefer, but fettuccine or linguine pairs beautifully with the creamy sauce.
- Make it lighter: Substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk for a lighter sauce, but it may alter the creaminess.
Recommendations:
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of cream or pasta water to revive the sauce.
- Serving suggestions: Pair this dish with a fresh garden salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
