Helpful Tips:
Be careful not to overcook the shrimp or lobster to avoid chewy seafood.
I seasoned the salmon heavily with black pepper but feel free to adjust to your liking.
The sauce may appear too much at first but as the pasta sits the sauce will thicken ending up in the ideal consistency.
The salmon can be cooked with or with-out skin, whichever you prefer.
