Pour in half-and-half and season with salt and pepper; stir constantly and bring to a simmer, making sure it does not boil. Gradually stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan; cook and stir for 1 more minute, then remove from the heat.

Recipe Tips
You can use any of your favorite seafood instead of shrimp or scallops. If you use frozen seafood, just be sure it's thawed and drained before adding it to the skillet.
If you find the sauce too thin for your liking, thicken it with a bit of cornstarch.
