Description

This Cajun Seafood Alfredo with Lobster and Crab brings restaurant-quality elegance right to your home kitchen. With tender lobster and sweet crab folded into fettuccine and coated in a creamy, Cajun-spiced Alfredo sauce, it’s the perfect dish for special occasions or luxurious weeknights. Rich, bold, and full of flavor.


Ingredients

8 oz fettuccine pasta

1 tablespoon salt (for boiling water)

2 tablespoons butter (for seafood)

6 oz cooked lobster meat

6 oz lump crab meat

2 tablespoons butter (for sauce)

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 1/2 cups heavy cream

1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste)

3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

2 tablespoons reserved pasta water (as needed)


Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add fettuccine and cook until al dente according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain and set pasta aside.

2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add the lobster and crab meat and gently sauté for 2–3 minutes until warmed. Remove and set aside.

3. In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Cajun seasoning and let it thicken for 3–4 minutes.

4. Lower the heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and smooth. Return the seafood to the skillet, add cooked pasta, and toss to coat. Add reserved pasta water, a little at a time, until the sauce reaches desired consistency.

5. Finish with fresh parsley and a crack of black pepper. Serve immediately while hot and creamy.

Notes

Use freshly grated Parmesan for a smoother sauce that melts perfectly.

Don’t overcook the seafood—just heat it through to keep it tender.

If the sauce gets too thick, use the reserved pasta water to thin it while keeping it creamy.
