Indulge in the ultimate comfort food with this Creamy Alfredo Pasta with Salmon & Shrimp. Rich and creamy Alfredo sauce coats tender fettuccine pasta, perfectly complemented by succulent salmon and shrimp. Ideal for a luxurious weeknight dinner or a special occasion!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound salmon fillets, skin removed and cut into chunks
  • 1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  • Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Cook the Salmon and Shrimp: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the salmon chunks and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flaky. Remove the salmon and set aside. In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside with the salmon.
  • Prepare the Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  • Finish the Sauce: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Combine Pasta and Seafood: Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat with the Alfredo sauce. Gently fold in the cooked salmon and shrimp, heating through for another 2 minutes.
  • Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

For added flavor, consider squeezing a bit of lemon juice over the dish before serving. This creamy Alfredo pasta is perfect for a luxurious weeknight dinner or special occasion!
