Learn how to make delicious Cajun Lobster and Salmon Alfredo. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 lobster tails, cooked and chopped
  • 1 pound salmon fillet, skinless and cut into chunks
  • 12 ounces fettuccine pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

If you don’t have lobster on hand, shrimp makes an excellent substitute. And if you’re looking to add a bit more heat, a pinch of cayenne pepper can take the spice level up a notch.

Instructions

  1. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the salmon chunks and sprinkle with Cajun seasoning. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until the salmon is cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and milk, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 2 minutes.
  5. Gradually stir in the Parmesan cheese, allowing the sauce to thicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Add the cooked lobster and salmon back to the skillet, gently stirring to coat with the sauce.
  7. Combine the cooked fettuccine with the sauce, tossing everything together until well combined.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving for a pop of color and freshness.

One tip I’ve picked up over the years: always taste as you go. This ensures that each element of the dish is seasoned to perfection.
