Garlicky Shrimp & Lobster Pasta - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/4 lb salted butter
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1/4 cup chopped garlic
    1 pint heavy cream
    8 ounces freshly grated parmesan cheese (NOT \"sprinkle cheese\" or parmesan in a can-freshly grated is best; can use bagged shredded if need b)
    1/2 lb fresh shrimp, cleaned & deveined
    1/2 lb lobster, cut into bite size pieces
    1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (fresh ground is best)
    1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
    salt & pepper
    1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
    1 lb cooked pasta, of your choice (I usually use penne or fusilli)
Preparation
    In large skillet slowly melt the butter over medium-high heat.
    While it's melting add the olive oil (this should keep it from burning).
    Butter/oil should be bubbly but not browned.
    Brown the garlic in the butter/olive oil, tossing to keep color even.
    Be careful not to burn.
    Lower heat slightly and add the heavy cream& nutmeg.
    Stir, scraping bottom of the pan.
    Simmer for 3 minutes, stirring OFTEN.
    Once the cream has been incorporated thoroughly, add the cheese a little bit at a time.
    Before adding more cheese, make sure the last bit has melted into the cream mixture.
    Add the shrimp& lobster.
    This should cook fairly quickly.
    Salt& pepper to taste& toss w/cooked pasta& chopped basil.
    Excellent in the summer served with May Wine or any slightly sweet white wine.
    Also great with Peach Iced tea.
