Ingredients
- 250–300g pasta (fettuccine, linguine, or spaghetti)
- 1/2 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1/2 lb scallops (or substitute with more shrimp)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup milk or seafood broth
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley (chopped)
- Optional: squeeze of lemon juice
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the shrimp and scallops, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until just opaque and lightly golden. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and milk (or seafood broth), stirring gently. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until it begins to thicken.
Add the parmesan cheese and paprika, stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
Return the seafood to the skillet and gently toss to coat in the sauce.
Add the cooked pasta and toss everything together. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.
Finish with chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
Serving Suggestions
Serve hot with extra parmesan cheese and a side of garlic bread or a fresh green salad. A sprinkle of chili flakes can add a gentle kick if you like a bit of heat.
