Garlicky Shrimp & Lobster Pasta image

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.

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 lb salted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup chopped garlic
1 pint heavy cream
8 ounces freshly grated parmesan cheese (NOT "sprinkle cheese" or parmesan in a can-freshly grated is best; can use bagged shredded if need b)
1/2 lb fresh shrimp, cleaned & deveined
1/2 lb lobster, cut into bite size pieces
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (fresh ground is best)
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
salt & pepper
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
1 lb cooked pasta, of your choice (I usually use penne or fusilli)

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.

The shrimp was a bit overcooked, but the lobster was cooked perfectly. The sauce was delicious, but I wish there was more of it.

This dish was a bit too garlicky for my taste, but still enjoyable. I would recommend using less garlic next time.

This garlicky shrimp lobster pasta was a hit with my family! The combination of shrimp and lobster was luxurious, and the garlic sauce was flavorful without being overpowering. I served it with a side of roasted vegetables, and it was a perfect meal.
