One Pot Shrimp and Crab Alfredo is a dish that truly embodies indulgence. It’s the kind of meal that feels fancy enough for a special occasion but is easy enough to whip up any night of the week. There’s something so comforting about the rich, creamy Alfredo sauce coating every strand of pasta, with tender pieces of shrimp and crab adding that touch of luxury. And the best part? It all comes together in one pot, making cleanup a breeze.
