Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
  • 1 lb. frozen seafood mix (thawed*)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt (divided)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (divided)
  • 4 garlic cloves (minced**)
  • 6 tablespoons heavy cream
  • Pinch cayenne
  • 3 tablespoons parmesan cheese (dry-grated)
  • 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped)

Instruction

  • Heat one tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the seafood with half the kosher salt and black pepper.
  • When the butter starts foaming, add the seafood to the skillet and cook, stirring often, until just cooked through and no longer translucent, about 3 minutes.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer the seafood to a plate, cover with foil, and set aside.
  • Pour the liquids out of the skillet, wipe it clean with paper towels (careful, it’s hot), and add the remaining butter. Reduce the heat to medium.
  • When the butter starts foaming, add the garlic to the skillet. Sauté, stirring, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds, depending on how hot your skillet is.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the cream, the cayenne pepper, and the remaining kosher salt and black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring. This should take about 1 minute.
  • Add the Parmesan cheese and gently stir until melted, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the seafood back to the skillet. Gently stir to combine with the sauce and to reheat, about 1 more minute. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
