Carnivore Seafood Alfredo

Carnivore Seafood Alfredo

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb shrimp, scallops, lobster, or crab (or a combination)
  • 2 tbsp butter or ghee (for cooking seafood)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional but adds richness)
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese (optional, for added creaminess)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp garlic powder (if allowed on your strict carnivore plan)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Seafood:
    • If using shrimp, peel and devein them. If using scallops or lobster, cut into bite-sized pieces. Crab meat should be pre-cooked and picked clean of shells.
    • Pat the seafood dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt.
  2. Cook the Seafood:
    • Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
    • Add the seafood and cook until just opaque (about 2–3 minutes per side for shrimp/scallops or until fully cooked for crab/lobster). Remove the seafood from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Make the Alfredo Sauce:
    • In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium-low and add the heavy cream. Stir gently, scraping up any bits left from the seafood.
    • Let the cream simmer for 2–3 minutes, reducing slightly.
    • Add the grated Parmesan cheese (if using) and cream cheese. Stir until melted and smooth.
  4. Combine Seafood and Sauce:
    • Return the cooked seafood to the skillet, stirring to coat it in the Alfredo sauce. Simmer for another 1–2 minutes to let the flavors combine.
  5. Serve:
    • Serve the Alfredo seafood as is or pour over carnivore-friendly noodles like egg yolk noodles, or enjoy it with a spoon for a rich, hearty dish.

Pro Tips:

  • Fat Content: Feel free to add extra butter or ghee to make the dish richer.
  • Carnivore Noodles: If desired, make egg yolk noodles by whisking yolks, spreading them thin on parchment paper, baking them, and slicing them into strips.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop to prevent the sauce from breaking.
