Notes
- Seafood selection: Use a combination of seafood such as shrimp, scallops, and crab meat for a variety of flavors and textures.
- Cooking seafood: Cook the seafood just until it’s opaque and cooked through to avoid overcooking and becoming rubbery.
- Alfredo sauce: Use high-quality Parmesan cheese and heavy cream for a rich and creamy sauce.
- Pasta cooking: Cook the fettuccine al dente, as it will continue to cook slightly when mixed with the sauce.
- Sauce consistency: If the Alfredo sauce is too thick, you can thin it out with a little pasta cooking water.
- Seasoning: Taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Garnish: Finish the dish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley or basil for a pop of color and freshness.
