Seafood (scallops, lobster, & shrimp) Alfredo

[civilsmoker]

So rather than a huge prime tomahawk, we opted for some seafood to change things up for the holiday meal.....

Costco, had these huge shrimp, scallops, & lobster claws......

The shrimp went on the Weber for a nice sear.....

The boy was in charge of the shrimp......looking good..

Already 3 min per side......

With 3 min left the lobster claws were put in a pan of olive and butter to baste and warm them.....

Infusing the flavor with a pinch of salt...

Oh and finally the scallops..... searing hot olive seasoned with salt and pepper....

90 seconds in.....

And done at 3 min!!! Happy camper now!

The plate is served up with my wife’s scratch made Alfredo, shaved parm, and fresh chopped herbs.....

This is seafood money!

In the end, we didn’t miss out by passing on the tomahawk.....

Alfredo:
5/3C heavy cream
5tbs butter
Put both in sauce pan on simmer, once warm and butter is melted add 1C parm (freshly grated good stuff from Italy!), salt, old bay, & garlic to taste, once parm is melted add pre-cooked pasta and slowly simmer, can add some fresh chopped herbs at this point. Continue to simmer till sauce till a firm cream. Sprinkle with fresh parm and eat while warm!

I like a good steak, but I think that I'd go for you seafood Alfredo anytime.

Nicely done.

Thanks for the Alfredo recipe. No offense but what does 5/3 Cups heavy cream mean?

That perfectly peeled lobster claw sure looks good.

POINT!!

Thanks One eye! It was a tasty claw!

5/3c = 1 and 2/3rd cup.....5/3C way easier to type on a phone.....LOL.

As Homer would say "DOH" (with a head slap). I am used to designating lumber 4-5-6-or8/4 but just didn't make the connection to cups.

Thanks for the clarification.

Wow!

I grabbed that Costco shrimp but I didn’t know they had lobster claws. Maybe it’s a regional thing? No lobster for California?

Looks awesome and I'll bet it tasted even better. Heck I'd take that over a steak most of the time. Tell the wife thanks for the recipe I'll be giving it a try

Looks good Civil, seafood is a staple in our house. Lobster is currently 8.99/lb for 1.75# live lobsters. Shrimp varies daily and scallops are close to 20./lb. So trying to get all three in a meal is difficult at times. Appreciate the recipe also.

Point for sure

Darn fine tasty meal! Everything a growing boy needs!

 

[BrianGSDTexoma]

Wow Civil! That looks so good. I splurged and did seafood myself yesterday.

You win the Kewpie doll!! That is one of the most stellar meals I've ever seen. No doubt, I'd happily pay $100 a plate for that...if there was some place out there that could make it as good as you and your wife did. Fantastic meal!!

I wish I had reasonably priced seafood near me. It's worse than buying steak these days.

Once upon a time long ago I had a couple of groceries that sold snow crab leg clusters for ~$3.00 a pound and would put them on sale for $2.50-2.75. Yeah, I ate a lot of 'em. Now every place around here is about 5-6 times that and hardly ever a sale.

Thanks Sven! The come and go at ours so not a regular thing but oh man they are tasty!

Thanks piney! Oh my wife says she adds up to a 1/2c of cream after the cheese is melted to get the creaminess desired...she also adds 1-2 tbs of the salted pasta water in.... A GR trick.

Thanks Chris! The all three was a bit pricy at once, but they make for a smaller portion size.... We would have spent way more for the prime beef!
