Ingredients
Scale
Seafood:
- 1/2 pound lobster meat, chopped
- 1/2 pound crab meat
- 1/2 pound salmon fillet, cooked & flaked
Pasta and Base:
- 1 pound linguine pasta
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Boil linguine in salted water for 8-10 minutes until al dente, then thoroughly drain and reserve.
- Heat butter in a large skillet over medium temperature, carefully infusing minced garlic and Cajun seasoning until aromatic, approximately 60 seconds.
- Gently introduce lobster, crab, and salmon pieces into the skillet, allowing seafood to warm through and absorb surrounding flavors for 3-4 minutes.
- Stream heavy cream into the skillet, whisking consistently while incorporating Parmesan cheese until sauce transforms into a velvety, uniform consistency.
- Season sauce with salt and freshly cracked black pepper, adjusting to personal taste preferences.
- Delicately fold pasta into the rich seafood sauce, ensuring each strand becomes luxuriously coated with the creamy Cajun-inspired mixture.
- Transfer to serving plates, garnishing with an additional sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and optional fresh herbs for enhanced visual appeal and flavor complexity.
Notes
- Select high-quality, fresh seafood for the most vibrant and authentic flavor profile in your dish.
- Avoid overcooking seafood to maintain its delicate texture and prevent rubbery consistency.
- Adjust Cajun seasoning intensity based on personal spice tolerance, starting with less and adding gradually.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or Greek yogurt to reduce calories without compromising taste.
