    Cook the Pasta:
    • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Season and Sear the Seafood:
    • In a large bowl, toss the salmon pieces, lobster, and crab meat with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
    • Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon pieces and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and just cooked through. Remove and set aside.
    • Add the lobster and crab meat to the same skillet, sautéing gently for 1-2 minutes. • Remove and set aside with the salmon.

    Make the Cajun Alfredo Sauce:
    • In the same skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
    • Stir in the heavy cream, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer, then gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese.
    • Continue cooking the sauce, stirring occasionally, until it thickens (about 4-5 minutes). Adjust seasoning to taste, adding cayenne pepper for extra heat if desired.

    Combine and Serve:
    • Add the cooked pasta to the Alfredo sauce and toss to coat evenly.
    • Gently fold in the lobster, crab, and salmon, being careful not to break the delicate seafood.
    • Let everything heat through for 1-2 minutes on low heat, then remove from the stove.

    Garnish and Serve:
    • Serve the Cajun lobster, crab, and salmon Alfredo in bowls, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley if desired.

    Enjoy this luxurious, creamy seafood pasta with a flavorful Cajun kick!
