SPICY SHRIMP AND SCALLOP ALFREDO

Spicy Shrimp and Scallop Alfredo image

This just came to me when trying to figure out what to do with 1 lb of large shrimp and about 10 large scallops! I used what I had in the fridge, and if I had some fresh mushrooms I would've added them also that is why they are optional in the ingredient list. The picture I took is actually from the day I created the dish
