Description

A delectable Grilled Salmon Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo combining perfectly grilled seafood with creamy Parmesan Alfredo sauce over tender fettuccine pasta, garnished with fresh parsley for an irresistible Italian-American main course.


Ingredients

Pasta

  • 8 oz fettuccine pasta

Seafood

  • 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 8 oz large shrimp, peeled and deveined

Seasonings and Oils

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Garnish

  • Chopped parsley


Instructions

  1. Cook Pasta: Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside while preparing the rest of the dish.
  2. Preheat Grill: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat to prepare for grilling the seafood for optimal flavor and texture.
  3. Prepare Seafood: Brush both the salmon fillets and shrimp with olive oil, then season with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to enhance their natural flavors before grilling.
  4. Grill Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the grill and cook about 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove and set aside.
  5. Grill Shrimp: Grill the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes per side, cooking until they turn pink and opaque. Remove and set aside with the salmon.
  6. Make Alfredo Sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  7. Add Cheese and Seasonings: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Let the sauce simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  8. Toss Pasta in Sauce: Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce and toss thoroughly to coat the pasta evenly with the creamy sauce.
  9. Serve: Plate the pasta and top it with the grilled salmon and shrimp. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.

Notes

  • You can substitute half-and-half for heavy cream to make a lighter Alfredo sauce.
  • Add steamed broccoli or sautéed spinach to the pasta for additional vegetables and nutrients.
