3. Melt butter with olive oil in a pan. Sear & brown scallop & shrimp. Space them out in the pan. Dish out & set aside when both sides are browned. (Do not keep flipping the scallop.)
4. Add olive oil to the same pan, add diced onion & fry till slightly softened. Add minced garlic & saute till lightly browned.
5. Add cooking cream & grated Parmesan cheese. Whisk to melt the cheese. Heat gently over low heat, stirring all the time & making sure the cream mixture does not boil. Add sea salt & galic pepper & do a taste-test.
6. Add the drained pasta & toss well to coat the pasta evenly. Add reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time, if necessary, to thin it.
