Creamy Seafood Fettuccine
Ingredients
  • 1 (16 ounce) package dry fettuccine noodles
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 1 cup chopped green onions
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound medium shrimp - peeled and deveined
  • 1 pound sea scallops
  • 2 cups half-and-half cream
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
1
Acquire all necessary components.
2
Place a substantial container filled with salted water into a large pot and bring to a vigorous boil. Cook fettuccine in the boiling water until it reaches your desired level of tenderness, retaining a slight firmness to the bite, approximately 8 minutes.
3
Concurrently, melt butter in an expansive non-stick skillet over a medium-high heat setting. Introduce green onions and garlic into the mixture; cook for 1 minute, allowing their flavors to meld. Next, incorporate shrimp and scallops into the skillet; cook for 3 minutes, then decrease the heat to a lower medium-heat setting.
4
Introduce half-and-half into the skillet, adding a rich and creamy texture to the dish. Season with salt and pepper to taste; stir constantly, ensuring that the mixture does not boil or lose its desired consistency. Gradually incorporate 1/2 cup of Parmesan into the mixture; cook and stir for an additional minute, allowing the flavors to fully integrate. Finally, remove the skillet from the heat source.
5
Drain the cooked fettuccine pasta and add it to the skillet. Thoroughly combine the pasta with the sauce, coating each strand evenly. Sprinkle any remaining Parmesan over the top of the dish before serving it immediately.
