Seafood Alfredo


Ingredients:
8 oz. linguini
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp flour
2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 cups parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
1 clove garlic, minced
Parsley, salt and pepper
1/2 pound shrimp, raw, peeled and deveined
1/2 pound scallops, small variety

Directions:
Boil water and cook pasta according to package directions. In a pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Slowly add flour, stirring constantly (with a whisk) to form a rue. Cook until the rue is very lightly browned and flour taste is gone. Slowly pour cream into pot, stirring constantly until completely incorporated. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to simmer. Add cheeses, garlic, and seasonings until the sauce is smooth. Finish cooking until heated through; season to taste. Meanwhile, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium heat; add shrimp and scallops. Cook until seafood is opaque (about 3 – 5 minutes total). Toss together linguini, sauce, and seafood then toss with additional cheese if desired. Bon appétit!

One of the best Alfredo Sauces I've had. You've really perfected this one.
