### 👩‍🍳 How to Make It:

#### 1. **Prep and Cook the Seafood**

* Season the lobster, crab, and salmon lightly with salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning.
* In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
* Sear the salmon chunks first until golden and just cooked through (2–3 mins per side). Remove and set aside.
* Add lobster chunks and cook until opaque and slightly caramelized. Gently fold in the crab meat and remove from heat.

#### 2. **Make the Cajun Alfredo Sauce**

* In the same pan, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute).
* Pour in heavy cream, stirring gently. Bring to a simmer.
* Add Parmesan cheese, Cajun seasoning, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Stir until smooth and slightly thickened (about 5–7 minutes). Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

#### 3. **Combine and Finish**

* Add the cooked pasta into the sauce and toss to coat well.
* Gently fold in the seafood — making sure not to break up the crab and lobster too much.
* Let everything heat through for 2–3 minutes so the flavors come together.

#### 4. **Serve and Enjoy**

* Plate the pasta in bowls, top with remaining seafood, and sprinkle with fresh parsley or green onions.
* Serve with lemon wedges and crusty bread to soak up the sauce.

### 🔥 Tips for the Best Flavor

* Use fresh seafood when possible for the richest taste.
* Don’t overcook the seafood — it should be tender and juicy, not rubbery.
* Add a splash of white wine to the sauce for a gourmet twist.
* Can’t find lobster or crab? Shrimp or scallops are great substitutes.
