Notes
- For optimal freshness, store any leftover Pappadeaux Festivité De Février Pasta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- When reheating, gently warm the pasta on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of cream or reserved pasta water to maintain its creamy texture.
- Serve this delightful dish with a side of garlic bread and a crisp green salad for a well-rounded meal that balances flavors and textures.
- For an extra flavor boost, consider marinating the shrimp and scallops in a bit of lemon juice and Cajun seasoning for 15-30 minutes before cooking to enhance their taste.
