If using salmon, chicken, or shrimp, cook your choice of protein separately. For salmon, season and pan-sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side. For chicken, cook until no longer pink, about 6-7 minutes per side. For shrimp, sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they are pink and opaque. Then, slice or leave whole and add to the pasta mixture.
