shrimp alfredo

Fettuccine alfredo is one of life's greatest comfort foods. It's creamy, cheesy, carb-y, and super super flavorful. We especially love this version because the shrimp adds lots of extra flavor and some lean protein to boot!

Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo

lb. fetuccine

shrimp,

kosher salt

black pepper

garlic,

tbsp. all-purpose flour

heavy cream

c. whole milk

c. Parmesan,

tbsp. Chopped parsley, for garnish

This was awesome. Whole family loved it.  We added steamed broccoli which was great!

I made this last night and OMG it is the best version i have made so far. I have tried many different ones. Some with less and some with more ingredients. My family noticed a difference with this one. I didn't have fettuccine so i used whole wheat penni and the family still thought it was the best ever.   
Serve with some crusty Italian bread and Rex Goalith Cab Sauv ♥ . Delish for sure. 
I wish I had a better presentation picture but once I put it on the plate I was half way through before I thought to take a pic. Oh and I doubled the recipe for guest and have plenty of leftovers for lunch.

Just made this and it was awesome! Only had Half &amp; Half on hand so used in place of milk and heavy cream. Lots of garlic and parsley made this a creamy, dreamy delight! Easy too!

Awesome sauce; and thanks on the tip on how to cook the shrimp.

Flavors are good but sauce was too pasty in texture instead of creamy. Less flour?

Turned out great and really easy to make. I used the cheap Parmesan and it was still good. Next time I’ll splurge for the real Parmesan and see how that tastes.

Great recipe. May be the best Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo I’ve ever made.

Turned out amazing! The Alfredo sauce is to die for!

It’s good for beginners but it could use some more flavour

good pasta!! Made it with my boyfriend and we both loved it!

Shrimp Alfredo Pasta is quick and easy to prepare, but feels extra special and luxurious. It&#39;s the perfect dish for special occasions!

lb. medium shrimp, peeled and deveined (4.99)

fettuccine (0.67)

garlic, minced (0.32)

heavy cream (1.00)

Parmesan* (1.08)

salt (or

tsp freshly cracked pepper (or to taste) (0.02)

Tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional) (0.10)

If your shrimp is frozen, thaw and peel before beginning. You can remove the tails or leave the tails on, if you prefer.

Bring a pot of water to a boil for the fettuccine. Once boiling, add the fettuccine and boil until tender (7-10 minutes). Reserve a ½ cup of the starchy water before draining the pasta in a colander.

While the fettuccine is boiling, prepare the shrimp and alfredo sauce. Place the peeled shrimp on a cutting board and pat dry with a paper towel. Season the shrimp with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Add 1 tablespoon butter to a large skillet and heat over medium. Once hot, swirl to coat the surface of the skillet with butter. Add the shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or just until opaque and pink (do not overcook the shrimp). Transfer the cooked shrimp to a clean bowl.

Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet along with the minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes, or just until it is very fragrant but not brown.

Add the heavy cream to the skillet and whisk to dissolve any browned bits off the bottom of the skillet. Allow the cream to come up to a simmer.

Whisk the Parmesan into the hot cream until melted. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.

Add the cooked and drained pasta and cooked shrimp back to the skillet with the sauce (make sure to add any liquid from the bowl of shrimp). Toss everything until coated in sauce. If the sauce becomes too thick or dry, add some of the reserved pasta water to loosen it up.

Taste the pasta and add more salt or pepper if needed. Top with chopped fresh parsley and serve!

This easy Shrimp Alfredo recipe uses just a few staple ingredients and is ready in less than 20 minutes!

This Shrimp Alfredo is easy to make and has the best homemade sauce that&#39;s perfect for serving with pasta.

breadcrumbs

salted butter

garlic powder

lb. shrimp (see notes)

lb. Fettuccine (see notes)

salted butter (high quality)

Tablespoons all-purpose flour

half and half (half cream/half milk)

Parmesan cheese (grated)

Asiago cheese (grated)

basil (optional)

cracked pepper

Lemon

Red Pepper Flakes

parsley (to garnish)

Measure out ingredients before beginning. Thaw the shrimp completely and pat the surface dry. You may also need to remove the shell, tail, and veins.

Optional: Toast the Panko breadcrumbs and garlic powder in melted butter over medium heat until brown, about 3 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for about 1 minute + 20 seconds per side. (Use a timer to avoid overcooking). Tilt the pan to transfer the shrimp onto a clean plate. Note that they’ll cook a little bit more as they sit, and again when added back to the sauce.

Boil the fettuccine in salted water according to package instructions. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce.

Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for one minute.

Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring continuously.

Add the seasonings, then add the half and half in small splashes, stirring continuously.

Bring to a gentle bubble, then reduce heat to low. It will continue to thicken as it simmers.

Stir in the cheese. Taste and season with salt/pepper if desired.

When the pasta is done, reserve 2 cups of pasta water and set aside.

Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce, toss to combine. The pasta will absorb the sauce and it will continue to thicken. If it becomes too thick, add a little pasta water until desired consistency is obtained.
