How to Make Spicy Shrimp And Scallop Alfredo

  1. Sprinkle shrimp and scallops on one side with garlic powder.
  2. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Sauté shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink.
  3. Remove shrimp and set aside in a bowl.
  4. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet. Add scallops and sauté for 2-3 minutes per side, until opaque and lightly browned. Remove to the bowl with the shrimp.
  5. Add chopped onion and mushrooms (if using) to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  6. Stir in sundried tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes.
  7. Pour in heavy cream and simmer for 2 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another 2 minutes.
  8. Stir in crushed red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper.
  9. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
  10. Add shrimp and scallops back to the skillet. Toss to coat.
  11. Add cooked pasta and broccoli. Toss well to combine and heat through. Increase heat to medium-high if needed.
  12. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
  13. Enjoy!
