I am super stoked to share with you guys our valentine’s day dinner! I made Seafood Fettuccine Alfredo after getting the idea from my Mom, she told me about how she used to make alfredo sauce with only cream cheese and butter. I kicked my seafood fettuccine alfredo up a bit by starting with a basic roux and I didn’t actually use any parmesan cheese anywhere in the recipe. So I guess it’s not technically “alfredo” sauce without the parmesan cheese – but you get the idea. I was going to call it “Poor-Man’s” Seafood Fettuccine Alfredo, but after buying the scallops and shrimp it was a pretty pricey dinner. However it was lot a cheaper than going out for Valentine’s day!
