This Cajun-inspired seafood pasta recipe is a hot one, but delicious! If you don’t like as much spice, divide the amounts of pepper in half. Better to add more later than spoil your creation. Bay scallops are preferred, but the larger sea scallops can be used if they are cut in half. This dish can also be placed in a casserole dish and placed under the broiler until the top turns golden brown.
Ingredients
- 1 pound dry fettuccine pasta
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup chopped green onions

Step 2
Meanwhile, pour cream into a large skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until just about boiling. Reduce heat and add green onions, parsley, basil, thyme, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and white pepper. Simmer until thickened, 7 to 8 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in shrimp and scallops. Cook until shrimp is no longer translucent.
Step 4
Stir in cheeses, blending well.
Step 5
Serve sauce over pasta.
Step 6
Serve hot and enjoy!
