Number Of Ingredients 16

FOR THE ALFREDO SAUCE:
12 ounces shrimp, peeled and deveined
6 ounces lump crabmeat
1/2 lemon
2 T butter
1 shallot, chopped
1/4 C white wine
1/4 C Italian parsley, chopped
Olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb penne pasta (or your favorite shape)
1 1/2 C shredded Mozzarella cheese
2 C heavy cream
1 stick buter
2 cloves garlic, minced
5 ounces shredded Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Cook pasta according to directions. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet and drizzle in some olive oil. Cook the shallot until tender. Deglaze the pan with the wine and cook a couple of minutes to reduce. Add in the shrimp, crabmeat, parsley, and garlic and cook until the shrimp is pink and done, about 3-4 minutes. Season with a bit of salt and pepper. Squeeze the lemon over the seafood and remove from the heat. For the Alfredo sauce, melt the butter in a saucepot. Add in the cream and garlic and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and whisk in the Parmesan cheese, a little at a time, until completely melted and the sauce is thickened. Preheat the broiler. Mix the seafood and the sauce with the pasta. Spread this into a casserole pan and sprinkle the Mozzarella all over the top. Broil for a couple of minutes to melt and brown the cheese.
