post-title

This lovely seafood Alfredo, featuring scallops and shrimp, and sprinkled with tomato and parsley, looks as mouthwatering as it tastes. Serve it with crusty Italian bread.

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces uncooked fettuccine
  • 1/4 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 pound sea scallops, halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 small shallot, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup white wine or additional chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream or half-and-half cream
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 roma tomato, diced
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Cook the fettuccine according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute shrimp and scallops in 1 tablespoon oil for 3-5 minutes or until shrimp turn pink and scallops are opaque. Remove and keep warm.
  2. In the same skillet, saute shallot in remaining oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in broth and wine. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 6-8 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated. Stir in cream; cook, uncovered, over medium heat for 5 minutes or until thickened.
  3. Drain fettuccine; stir into cream sauce. Add shrimp, scallops and cheese; toss to coat. Sprinkle with tomato, parsley and if desired, additional Parmesan cheese.
