Garlicky Shrimp & Lobster Pasta

Came up with this one a few summers ago when I wanted to impress a newly acquired "beau". He loved it, I hated him ....I dumped him but kept the recipe. Creamy & cheesy, this one isn't low in calories but it is pretty quick. Basically an Alfredo recipe but really garlic-ed up. I've also made this w/crayfish once & it was just as good.

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 1⁄4 lb salted butter
• 2  tablespoons olive oil
• 1⁄4 cup  chopped garlic
• 1  pint heavy cream
• 8  ounces  freshly grated parmesan cheese (NOT "sprinkle cheese" or parmesan in a can-freshly grated is best; can use bagged shredded if need b)
• 1⁄2 lb fresh shrimp, cleaned & deveined
• 1⁄2 lb lobster, cut into bite size pieces
• 1⁄4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (fresh ground is best)
• 1  teaspoon fresh lemon juice
•  salt & pepper
• 1⁄4 cup fresh basil, chopped
• 1  lb  cooked pasta, of your choice (I usually use penne or fusilli)

Directions

1. In large skillet slowly melt the butter over medium-high heat.
2. While it's melting add the olive oil (this should keep it from burning).
3. Butter/oil should be bubbly but not browned.
4. Brown the garlic in the butter/olive oil, tossing to keep color even.
5. Be careful not to burn.
6. Lower heat slightly and add the heavy cream& nutmeg.
7. Stir, scraping bottom of the pan.
8. Simmer for 3 minutes, stirring OFTEN.
9. Once the cream has been incorporated thoroughly, add the cheese a little bit at a time.
10. Before adding more cheese, make sure the last bit has melted into the cream mixture.
11. Add the shrimp& lobster.
12. This should cook fairly quickly.
13. Salt& pepper to taste& toss w/cooked pasta& chopped basil.
14. Excellent in the summer served with May Wine or any slightly sweet white wine.
15. Also great with Peach Iced tea.
