Dive into a sea of flavors with this luxurious Cajun Lobster, Crab, and Salmon Alfredo! 🌊🍝 Creamy, spicy, and loaded with seafood goodness, it’s the perfect dish to impress at your next special gathering! ✨
Ingredients:
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter
– 1/2 lb crab meat (lump or claw)
– 3 cloves garlic (minced)
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning (more to taste)
– 1 lobster tail (cooked and chopped)
– 12 oz fettuccine (or your favorite pasta)
– 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
– 1 salmon fillet (cooked and flaked)
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– Salt and pepper (to taste)
– Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
– Extra Parmesan (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Cook the pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and add the fettuccine. Cook according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the seafood: If the lobster isn’t pre-cooked, boil or steam it until the meat turns opaque. Remove it from the shell and chop into pieces. Flake the cooked salmon and ensure the crab meat is ready to go.
3. Make the Cajun Alfredo sauce: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until it releases a fragrant aroma. Next, stir in the butter and let it melt. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Whisk in the Cajun seasoning and the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy. Add salt and pepper according to your taste.
4. Combine the seafood and pasta: Gently fold in the cooked lobster, crab, and salmon into the sauce to coat the seafood evenly. Then, add the drained pasta and toss everything together until every strand is enveloped in that creamy goodness!
5. Serve: Dish out the Cajun seafood Alfredo into bowls or plates and finish off with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and a generous topping of extra Parmesan cheese.
