Spicy Cajun Seafood Fettuccine
Ingredients
  • 1 pound dry fettuccine pasta
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 cup chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 pound scallops
  • 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1
Fill a large pot with water that has been lightly seasoned with salt, then place it on the stovetop and bring the water to a vigorous boil. Once boiling, cook fettuccine noodles in the boiling water until they are tender but still retain a bit of firmness when bitten into, approximately 8 minutes. Remove the noodles from the water as soon as they are done cooking.
2
In a separate large skillet, pour heavy cream and place it over medium heat on the stovetop. Stir the cream constantly as it begins to warm up and almost come to a boil. Once nearly boiling, reduce the heat to a lower setting and add chopped green onions, fresh parsley, fragrant basil, savory thyme, salt, black pepper, a pinch of red pepper flakes for added flavor, and white pepper to taste. Allow the mixture to simmer gently until it has thickened slightly, around 7-8 minutes.
3
Next, add the succulent shrimp and plump scallops to the skillet. Continue to cook the seafood until it is no longer translucent, signaling that it is fully cooked.
4
Finally, stir in a blend of cheeses until they are well combined with the sauce.
5
Serve the rich and creamy pasta sauce over a bed of cooked fettuccine noodles.
6
Present your dish hot, straight from the stovetop, and indulge in its delightful flavors!
