For the Seafood
  • 1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined) The star of our dish, imparting sweetness and tenderness.
  • 1 lb scallops (sea or bay) Adds a rich, delicate flavor that enhances the overall profile.
  • 1 lb white fish (such as cod or haddock) Provides a meaty texture and soaks up the creamy goodness.

  • 4 cloves garlic (minced) Infuses the dish with aromatic depth for a flavor boost.
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated) A savory twist that elevates the creaminess to another level.
