GARLICKY SHRIMP & LOBSTER PASTA
Came up with this one a few summers ago when I wanted to impress a newly acquired "beau". He loved it, I hated him ....I dumped him but kept the recipe. Creamy & cheesy, this one isn't low in calories but it is pretty quick. Basically an Alfredo recipe but really garlic-ed up. I've also made this w/crayfish once & it was just as good.

Steps:
- In large skillet slowly melt the butter over medium-high heat.
- While it's melting add the olive oil (this should keep it from burning).
- Butter/oil should be bubbly but not browned.
- Brown the garlic in the butter/olive oil, tossing to keep color even.
- Be careful not to burn.
- Lower heat slightly and add the heavy cream& nutmeg.
- Stir, scraping bottom of the pan.
- Simmer for 3 minutes, stirring OFTEN.
- Once the cream has been incorporated thoroughly, add the cheese a little bit at a time.
- Before adding more cheese, make sure the last bit has melted into the cream mixture.
- Add the shrimp& lobster.
- This should cook fairly quickly.
- Salt& pepper to taste& toss w/cooked pasta& chopped basil.
- Excellent in the summer served with May Wine or any slightly sweet white wine.
- Also great with Peach Iced tea.
