Recipes:
Grilled Salmon and Shrimp Fettuccine
Ingredients:
For the Salmon & Shrimp:
2 salmon fillets
8 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
For the Fettuccine:
8 ounces fettuccine pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt, for pasta water
For the Creamy Sauce:
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the Salmon & Shrimp:
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Season the salmon fillets with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the shrimp with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Grill the salmon for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque.
Once done, drizzle the salmon and shrimp with lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped parsley for freshness.
Cook the Fettuccine:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions, usually about 10-12 minutes until al dente.
Drain the pasta and toss with a tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
Make the Creamy Sauce:
In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the heavy cream, bring to a simmer, and cook for 3-4 minutes to thicken slightly.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is creamy and smooth.
Assemble the Dish:
Toss the cooked fettuccine in the creamy sauce, coating the pasta evenly.
Plate the pasta, placing the grilled salmon and shrimp on top.
Serve:
Garnish with extra parsley and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy your delicious grilled Salmon and Shrimp Fettuccine!
This dish pairs beautifully with a glass of white wine and is sure to impress with its rich flavors and vibrant presentation!
