Olive Garden Seafood Alfredo Recipe

A plate of seafood alfredo is always a good idea, especially when the sauce is homemade!
The key to a smooth and creamy sauce is using fresh Parmesan and stirring constantly to keep it from breaking.
I always season the shrimp and scallops lightly before cooking them, so they stand out against the rich pasta.
A little bit of pasta water mixed into the sauce keeps it from getting too thick and helps it cling to every strand.
Instead of just tossing the seafood in at the end, I like to let it simmer for a minute in the sauce to soak up more flavor.
