Shrimp and lobster Alfredo 

This shrimp alfredo is the perfect combination for shrimp and lobster akfredo 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 that I made the recipe myself at home.

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 for this lobster and shrimp linguine.
  • 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 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, 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.

Questions

Do you need fresh lobster tails for shrimp alfredo?

Not at all. I used about 3 small frozen lobster tails for this creamy lobster and shrimp scampi linguine. 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 in this shrimp alfredo.

    This was soooo good. I added bay scallops because I had them at the house. The lobster was perfect. I’ll make this again.
