The Best Recipe For Cajun Lobster, Crab, and Salmon Delight
Ingredients
- 2 tails lobster, shelled and chopped
- 1 cup lump crab meat, picked over for shells
- 1 cup salmon fillet, diced
- 12 oz fettuccine pasta
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3.75 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- to taste salt and black pepper
- 2 green onions chopped (for garnish)
- to taste fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the lobster and salmon. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the lobster is pink and salmon is just cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in the Cajun seasoning and Parmesan cheese, whisking until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached.
- Gently fold in the sautéed lobster, crab meat, and salmon into the Alfredo sauce. Mix until everything is well combined and heated through.
- Add the drained fettuccine to the skillet and toss until the pasta is well coated with the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Plate the Cajun seafood Alfredo in generous servings, garnishing with chopped green onions and parsley for a pop of color.
