# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Scoop out the noodles and seafood onto plates, shower everything with that fresh parsley, then dig in right away while it's piping hot.
02 -
Toss in your scallops and shrimp, softly stir so it all mixes together and nothing breaks up.
03 -
Pop that cooked pasta back into your pan. Swirl it around to get every bit coated, slowly splashing in some of that saved pasta water till your sauce looks silky and creamy.
04 -
Using the same pan, toss in garlic and let it cook for a minute till you smell it. Pour in the cream, let it bubble gently, then add all that Parmesan. Stir till smooth and dreamy, then tip in salt, black pepper, and chili flakes if you like a little spice.
05 -
Drizzle olive oil and throw in the butter on high heat in your biggest skillet. Scatter shrimp and scallops over the surface, don’t pile them up. Cook each for 2-3 minutes on one side till they're nicely browned, then flip. Take them out and keep warm somewhere.
06 -
Fill a big pot with salted water and get it boiling. Drop in your noodles, stir, and cook till they’re just right—check the pack for timing. Scoop out about half a cup of the water and save it. Dump pasta into a colander and set aside.
# Extra Tips and Tricks:
01 -
For awesome flavor, pick the freshest seafood you can and add more or less seasoning to suit your taste buds.
02 -
It’s cool to grab another pasta shape if you’re out of fettuccine or linguine.
