Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

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

  2. 2

    Sear the Seafood

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the shrimp and scallops, seasoning with salt and black pepper. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Sauce

    In the same skillet, pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it reduce for about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly. Add the cooked fettuccine and toss to coat in the sauce.

  5. 5

    Finish the Dish

    Gently fold in the seared shrimp and scallops, along with the chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the shrimp and scallop pasta hot, garnished with extra Parmesan and parsley if desired.
