1

Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta shells and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Prepare the Sauce

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and shallots, sauté until translucent.

3

Add Cream and Stock

Pour in the heavy cream and lobster stock, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.

4

Incorporate Cheese and Seasonings

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly.

Add Seafood

Add the shrimp, scallops, crab meat, and lobster meat to the sauce. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through.

6

Combine with Pasta

Toss the cooked pasta shells in the seafood sauce until well-coated. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
