Must have shrimp and lobster Alfredo

Creamy shrimp and lobster alfredo are my go-to, quick, and delicious meals for my family.  This is also a great meal if you're craving seafood!! If you love Red lobster but don’t love the prices or the wait. Don’t worry my friends because I’ve got you covered.

Shrimp and lobster Alfredo 

This shrimp and lobster alfredo are the perfect combination for shrimp and lobster lovers. It’s just the right amount of fettuccine noodles, alfredo sauce, shrimp, and lobster.   I got hungry just by writing that sentence. LOL.  I fell in love with shrimp alfredo during my first visit to Olive Garden. The creaminess of the sauce paired with the sautéed shrimp was delicious! When I was in college, this was my meal of choice on the weekend. I ordered that meal so much I decided to try and make the recipe at home by myself.

What are the ingredients to this lobster alfredo?

• Shrimp-I purchased a fresh pound of already cleaned, thawed, and, deveined shrimp but you can also use frozen shrimp as well.
  
• Lobster Tails- Small lobster tails will be absolutely fine in this recipe. You can also purchase the bigger lobster tails if you wish to have more meat.
  
• Heavy Whipping Cream- The cream helps in making the Alfredo sauce. It’s a pretty simple and easy process that will be ready in minutes.

• Seasonings-I used a mixture of seasonings in this recipe starting with the basics of salt and pepper just to name a few. You can always add more seasoning or use less than the recipe recommends.
• Fettuccine- The recipe isn’t complete without the fettuccine pasta. Don’t use spaghetti pasta for this recipe. Yes, they are both pasta but spaghetti pasta doesn’t absorb Alfredo sauce well.

Do you need a fresh lobster tails?

Not at all. I used about 3 small frozen lobster tails. The lobster meat taste is so pronounced when you sauté it. I used 3 lobster tails, but you will only need about 2 small lobster tails chopped into small pieces. Feel free to add more or use fewer lobster tails.

Steps to cooking shrimp and lobster alfredo?

This is literally one of the easiest recipes I have ever made. You just need to boil your noodles in a pot with salt and butter until al dente. Drain the noodles and set them to the side until later. I sautéed my shrimp and lobster on the stovetop in butter that was seasoned with salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Once the lobster and shrimp are browned, remove from the pan and set to the side.

Steps to making Alfredo sauce 

In the pan you sautéed the shrimp and lobster (to capture those flavors) on medium low stir in butter, minced garlic, flour, heavy whipping cream and milk.  Add in Parmesan cheese along with salt and pepper. Stir and bring to a boil. Then add back in shrimp, lobster, and noodles. Stir until thoroughly combined.

Sprinkle parsley and parmesan cheese over the top and enjoy with my friends.
