    Recipe Introduction


    The sauce is like a traditional Alfredo, with no flour or other thickener. Don't worry if it looks thin. It's the perfect consistency for coating the pasta. Pat the shrimp and scallops dry before cooking with paper towels so they don't dilute the sauce.

    List of Ingredients





    INGREDIENTS FOR 8 SERVINGS:

    1-1/2 tablespoons butter
    1 cup chopped green onions
    4 garlic cloves, minced
    1 pound medium shrimp, peeled
    1 pound sea scallops
    2 cups half-and-half
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    1/2 pound lump crabmeat, shell pieces removed
    3/4 cup (3 ounces) grated fresh Parmesan cheese, divided
    8 cups hot cooked fettuccine (about 1 pound uncooked pasta)
    1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

    Recipe
