Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add fettuccine pasta and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Seafood: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add lobster meat and crab meat, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until warmed through, then set aside.
  3. Create the Sauce Base: Using the same skillet, melt another 2 tablespoons of butter. Add minced garlic, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Craft the Creamy Sauce: Pour in heavy cream, bringing to a gentle simmer. Stir in Cajun seasoning and let it cook for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
  5. Incorporate the Cheese and Seafood: Lower heat and mix in Parmesan cheese until melted. Return lobster and crab to the skillet with reserved fettuccine, tossing to combine.
  6. Adjust the Consistency and Serve: Add reserved pasta water as needed to reach desired sauce consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
