So how does one create tasty aforementioned dish?
Follow the direction on the Alfredo box to make the noodles. I'm going to focus on how to make the seafood portion, being I'm sure everyone here can follow box directions well enough.
1. Dice tomato, dice garlic, shred parsley, shell and clean shrimp (I forgot this step
) 
2. I used an aluminum skillet, but I'm sure you'd get along fine with a deep pan, wok, and ofc there's the cast iron bregade (from here on refered do as skillet). Heat the skillet on medium-high heat and cover uniformly with a thin layer of cooking oil.
3. Wait for the oil to heat and add scallops. They should sizzle as soon as they hit the pan - if not, the oil's not hot enough. Immediatly salt and pepper. Let the scallops sit still for approximately a minute.
Add deshelled and cleaned shrimp. Begin stiring, flipping, tossing (elite Asian kitchen staff only). Notice that the shrimp will begin to turn from grey to red as it's cooked.
4. Wait for all scallops to turn from transperent to a white meaty color. You have to be careful here, because if you overcook the scallops, they'll be really chewy instead of moist and tender. Once you think they're about done, turn the heat down to low- medium. Add 3 tablespoons of butter.
Let the butter melt and then tilt the pan so that the butter pools in teh shrimp and scallops.
5. Once you've decided that the meat is butter soaked; add the diced garlic and stir. Remember to be conscious about the range heat, as you don't want to overcook the scallops.
6. Add veggies.
7. Add a good portion of white wine. Turn off heat and continue to stir.
8. Be overpowered by arroma.
9. Combine pasta and seafood.
10. Tell your friends you used to be a chef at Olive Garden. This is the first time I've ever played around with seafood, so I'm really really impressed with how tasty this stuff was. Invite a couple of girls over and serve some of the left over white wine to go with meal. The hardest decision you'll have for the rest of the night is; which one do you get your dick wet with..
