Ingredients

• 400 grams Fettuccine pasta
• 200 grams Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 200 grams Scallops
• 300 grams Mussels, cleaned
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
• 1 cup Dry white wine
• 3 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 0 to taste Salt
• 0 to taste Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and scallops in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until just opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and butter. Add the mussels and pour in the dry white wine. Cover with a lid and steam for 4-5 minutes, or until the mussels open. Discard any mussels that remain closed. Remove the mussels from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

Step 5

Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring well to combine. Let it simmer gently for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue stirring until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 6

Return the shrimp, scallops, and mussels to the skillet. Add the lemon juice and chopped parsley, stirring to coat the seafood evenly in the sauce.

Step 7

Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing everything together until the pasta is well coated with the sauce.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and black pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley and grated Parmesan, if desired.
