Start by de-shelling the lobster tails; cut down the middle and pop the meat out, preserving the shells for later.

Chop the lobster meat into chunks and set aside.

Put the lobster shells into boiling water to infuse the pasta with lobster flavor.

Add the fettuccine noodles to the boiling water, ensuring they are fully submerged, and stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Once the pasta is cooked al dente, drain it and discard the lobster shells.

Mix all the seasonings together in a bowl.

Season the shrimp with the mixed seasonings to taste and massage it in with your hands.

Season the scallops with the same mixed seasonings and massage it in as well.

Season the lobster meat lightly with the remaining seasonings and massage it in.

Sear the shrimp in a pan for 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked, then remove from the pan.

Sear the scallops in the same pan for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden crusted, then remove from the pan.

Add minced garlic to the pan and reduce the heat to low-medium; add 1 cup of cooking wine and scrape up the fond.

Simmer the wine until reduced by half, then add 2.5 cups of heavy cream and stir until thickened.

Add 0.5 cup of cream cheese to the sauce and mix until well combined.

Stir in 0.5 cup of parsley and 0.125 cup of basil, along with 2 teaspoons of the remaining seasoning.

Check the sauce thickness; it should be creamy without needing flour.

Add the lobster meat to the sauce and cook for 3-5 minutes, being careful not to overcook it.

Turn off the heat and add the parmesan cheese to the sauce, mixing it in to avoid burning.

Gradually add the cooked fettuccine noodles to the sauce, mixing to achieve desired creaminess; only half the noodles may be needed.

Finally, add the shrimp and scallops to the pasta and mix everything together until well combined.
