Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz fettuccine
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.5 lb sea scallops
- 8 oz lump crab meat
- 6.5 oz canned clams, drained
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/4 cup of pasta water.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and add the olive oil. Add the shrimp and scallops, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until they are opaque and golden. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Gently fold in the cooked shrimp, scallops, crab meat, and clams. Heat for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm the seafood through.
Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat in the creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, stir in a bit of the reserved pasta water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side if desired.
