Ingredients

• 12 oz fettuccini pasta
• 8 oz large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 8 oz scallops
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1.5 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tbsp parsley, chopped
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccini pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and scallops, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn opaque and just cooked through. Remove seafood from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium, and add the remaining butter and olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Pour in the dry white wine and bring it to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes until reduced by half.

Step 5

Stir in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Let the sauce thicken slightly, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and well incorporated. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen it.

Step 7

Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), and a tablespoon of lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 8

Return the cooked shrimp and scallops to the skillet, along with the cooked fettuccini pasta. Toss everything together to coat the pasta and seafood with the sauce.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately with extra Parmesan cheese on the side.
