- Cook the Pasta – Boil pasta in salted water until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Cook the Shrimp – In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add shrimp and cook 2–3 minutes per side until pink. Remove and set aside.
- Make the Alfredo Sauce – In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream, bring to a simmer, and stir in Parmesan until smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and Old Bay.
- Combine – Add pasta, shrimp, and crab to the sauce, tossing gently to coat.
- Assemble the Bake – Pour mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over the top.
- Bake to Perfection – Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve – Sprinkle with parsley and serve hot.

Tips for the Best Alfredo Bake
- Use fresh Parmesan for the richest flavor and smoothest sauce.
- Don’t overcook the shrimp — they’ll continue cooking in the oven.
- Add a handful of spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for a pop of color and flavor.
