Cook Fettuccine pasta according to package directions, reserving cup of pasta water before draining.
While pasta is cooking, season Chicken with Salt and Black pepper. Heat Olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add Chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Add Shrimp to the same skillet and cook until pink and opaque, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together Heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Egg yolks, Garlic powder, and Black pepper.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Pour the Sauce over the pasta and toss to coat. Add a little Pasta water at a time if the sauce is too thick.
Add the cooked Chicken and Shrimp to the pasta and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
