Cajun Lobster, Crab, and Salmon Alfredo – A Creamy Seafood Dream You’ll Never Forget!
If you’re craving something truly special, this luxurious Cajun seafood Alfredo brings together tender lobster, sweet crab, and flaky salmon in a rich, creamy sauce that’ll make you feel like you’re dining on the coast!
Ingredients:
- 1 lobster tail, meat removed and chopped
- 1 cup lump crab meat
- 1 salmon fillet (about 6 oz), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 12 oz fettuccine pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (plus extra for seasoning seafood)
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
- Cook the Pasta:
Boil fettuccine according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water. - Prepare the Seafood:
Season the lobster, crab, and salmon lightly with Cajun seasoning. - Sauté the Seafood:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add salmon and cook for about 3–4 minutes until mostly cooked through. Add lobster and crab meat, cooking for another 2–3 minutes. Remove seafood and set aside. - Make the Sauce:
In the same skillet, melt butter. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant (about 1 minute). Stir in heavy cream and simmer gently for 3–4 minutes. Add Parmesan cheese and a teaspoon of Cajun seasoning, stirring until the sauce thickens. - Bring It Together:
Add the seafood back into the skillet, followed by the cooked pasta. Toss gently to coat everything with the creamy sauce. If it seems too thick, add a little reserved pasta water. - Season and Serve:
Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges if desired.
