Lemon Garlic Seafood Alfredo

This is a definite indulgence type dinner with a rich and thick creamy garlic sauce, but it takes less than a half hour to make. As with most my meals, reduce the recipe in half if you aren't feeding a large family. I use the Fremont Seafood Mix bag from Aldi and Simply Nature Organic Linguine, also from Aldi. You can use whatever seafood and pasta you like here. I had half a bag of baby shrimp in the freezer, so I added that too.

Ingredient

1/2 lb

1 Tbsp

Olive Oil

1/2 cup

Butter

2 Tbsp

2 Tbsp

Lemon Juice

1 Tsp

1/2 Tsp

1/2 Tsp

1/2

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Start by setting all your ingredients out. This dinner is quick to make so you need everything handy.

* Step 2

Grate the parmesan according to story notes. Set aside.

* Step 3

Boil water with salt and olive oil. Cook pasta. Drain. Drizzle with olive oil and toss so it doesn't stick, and just set it aside.

* Step 4

Seafood: In medium skillet on medium heat, add olive oil, butter, garlic, lemon juice, lemon peel, salt, and pepper. Let melt and simmer until fragrant (2-3 minutes).

* Step 5

Add all defrosted seafood. Simmer until shrimp is pink. Remove from heat and set aside. Do not overcook.

* Step 6

Alfredo Sauce: In large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil, butter, and diced onion. Cook 3-4 minutes until onions are translucent. Add garlic and cook another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. (Do not scorch garlic.)

* Step 7

Add flour and whisk vigorously 1-2 minutes. It will thicken just to spread apart when whisk goes through but go right back together.

* Step 8

Add heavy cream, milk, Italian seasoning, lemon peel, salt, and pepper. Whisk while cooking another 3-5 minutes until it starts to thicken. Remove from heat.

* Step 9

Add the more roughly grated half of the parmesan cheese wedge. Continue whisking vigorously until melted and smooth. It will be very thick.

* Step 10

Get seafood mix that you set aside before and add to the cream sauce, including the juices. This will thin the sauce back out to a nice rich, but not too thick, consistency. Stir well. Put back on medium-low heat a few minutes to ensure it's heated through, stirring the whole time. Then remove from heat.

* Step 11

Plating: Add mound of pasta to plate. Ladle seafood Alfredo sauce over pasta. Top generously with finely grated parmesan cheese. Serve with side of garlic bread.
