Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Fusilli

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the fusilli pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2

Sauté the Seafood

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

3

Add Shrimp and Scallops

Add the shrimp and scallops to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and the scallops are opaque. Season with salt and black pepper.

4

Incorporate Crabmeat

Gently fold in the crabmeat and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing it to warm through.

5

Make Aurora Sauce

In a separate bowl, mix the heavy cream and marinara sauce until well combined. Pour the sauce into the skillet with the seafood and stir gently.

6

Combine Pasta and Sauce

Add the cooked fusilli to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce and seafood.

7

Serve

Remove from heat and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley before serving.
