Ingredients:
- 8 oz angel hair pasta
- 1 lb salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- Lemon wedges for serving (optional)
Instructions:
Cook the Pasta:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the angel hair pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
- Drain the pasta and set aside.
Prepare the Seafood:
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the salmon pieces and cook for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside with the salmon.
Make the Alfredo Sauce:
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Season with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
Combine Pasta and Sauce:
- Add the cooked angel hair pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the Alfredo sauce.
- Gently fold in the cooked salmon and shrimp until well combined and heated through.
Serve:
- Transfer the seafood Alfredo pasta to serving plates.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
