Method
Cooking the Pasta
Cook the Linguini
In a large pot of boiling salted water, add the linguini and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Preparing the Seafood
Sauté the Shrimp and Scallops
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the shrimp and scallops, season with salt and black pepper, and sauté until the shrimp are pink and the scallops are opaque, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Making the Cajun Alfredo Sauce
Prepare the Alfredo Sauce
In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Then, pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Cajun seasoning and Parmesan cheese, and mix until well combined and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes.
Combining Ingredients

Add the cooked linguini, cherry tomatoes, red onions, and the sautéed seafood to the skillet with the Cajun Alfredo sauce. Toss everything to combine and heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
