Cooking Instructions

Cook the Pasta

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Sauté Vegetables

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced bell pepper and onion, sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Cook the Seafood

Add the shrimp and scallops to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the shrimp turns pink and the scallops are opaque. Gently fold in the crab meat.

Make the Sauce

Pour in the heavy cream and add Cajun seasoning. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Combine Pasta and Sauce

Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serve

Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped chives before serving. Enjoy your Cajun seafood pasta!
