2 tbsp butter or beef tallow

🔪 Instructions:

Cook the Seafood:

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter or tallow.

Add shrimp and scallops, cooking 2–3 minutes per side until opaque and lightly browned.

Remove seafood and set aside, keeping the juices in the pan.

Make the Alfredo Sauce:
-
In the same pan, reduce heat to low.
-
Add heavy cream and simmer gently for 2–3 minutes, stirring often.
-
Slowly stir in parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
-
Optional: Whisk in an egg yolk for added thickness and richness (temper with a bit of the warm cream first).
-
Season with salt (and optional white pepper or lemon, if tolerated).
-
-
Combine & Serve:
-
Return the cooked seafood to the pan and gently stir to coat.
-
Simmer for another 2–3 minutes to blend flavors.
-
Serve hot in a bowl or over carnivore “noodles” like:
-
Sliced cooked egg whites
-
Thin-cut omelet strips
-
Seared halloumi or mozzarella sheets
-
-
🔥 Tips:
-
Use only wild-caught seafood for best flavor and purity.
-
Swap shrimp for lobster, crab, or even salmon chunks for variation.
-
Add a spoonful of bone marrow or cream cheese for extra fat.
