Fettucinne Alfredo with shrimp

How to make Fettucinne Alfredo with shrimp

I know that you are all familiar with Alfredo.  It's an Italian dish that is made with heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese served over either linguine, or Fettucinne, and any type of meat you like.  I made this dish using shrimp, since I love olive gardens version.  Here's what you'll need. 

Let's prepare and cook the shrimp first.

You'll need 1/2 lb of shrimp perferably the size 31/50 or 40/50.  This just means there is 31-50 pieces of shrimp in a lb.  make sure the shrimp is peeled deveined and has the tail on.  

In a heated skillet add 3 tbsp of butter to cook the shrimp. 

    Add the shrimp into the pan, and salt and pepper both sides. 

    Cook until pink like the above picture, remove from pan and set aside. 

You'll need 1 box of Fettucinne pasta, cooked according to the box. Add salt to make the water boil quicker, and add olive oil to keep it from sticking together. 

Drain out the noodles, and run through cold water, and set aside until needed. 

    Wash and chopped parsley and use as garnish once pasta is plated. 

Mince 4 cloves of garlic, and set aside. 

Now in a sauce pan melt 1 stick of butter

 and add the minced garlic, cook for 1 minute. 

Now add 2 cups of heavy cream turn down heat to low. 

    Slowly add 1 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, stir frequently, heat will remain in low. 

    Add 1/2 tsp of Salt and 1/2 tsp of pepper, and a pinch of chicken boullion.  

    Add the cooked shrimp into the sauce once it thickens, continue to simmer on Low. 

   

Add the pasta into the sauce.

   Using a tong toss pasta making sure not to break the noodle, and making sure the pasta is all covered and thick.  Not too thick though. 

Plate the pasta and serve with bread sticks or rolls.
