OLD BAY® SHRIMP AND PASTA ALFREDO



Old Bay® Shrimp and Pasta Alfredo image

This recipe came from my Italian family. It is not only delicious but so quick and easy. Measurements really aren't necessary--make it your own. You can't go wrong with too much seasoning or too little. Go easy on the lemon is my only recommendation. Unless you love lemon! Adding Parmesan cheese is really delish and the Alfredo sauce gives it a nice hot and creamy texture.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 oz (225g) linguine pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound (450g) raw shrimp (buy frozen, peeled, and deveined shrimp)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Old bay seasoning (optional - or smoked paprika or cajun)
1 tablespoon butter
1 clove garlic (minced)
½ cup heavy cream ((double cream in the UK))
½ cup parmesan (grated)
¼ cup fresh parsley (chopped)

Steps:

  • In a medium-sized saucepan, boil water and salt it. Add your pasta, and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. When the pasta is cooked, reserve 1 cup of the pasta water and drain the pasta.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter, and add olive oil. Cook the shrimp for a minute, then season with salt, pepper, and Old Bay Seasoning or paprika if using.
  • Continue to cook the shrimp until it's pink. Do this in batches if you're worried that you may overcook the shrimp. Remove the shrimp onto a plate and set aside.
  • In the same pan, melt butter and add garlic, cook for 30 seconds or until it's fragrant. Add the heavy cream, and with the spatula deglaze the pan.
  • Add parmesan, let it melt then loosen the sauce with reserved pasta water and allow to simmer for a minute. Taste the sauce and see if more salt and pepper is needed.
  • Toss the pasta with the sauce until it's well coated. Add the shrimp back in to reheat it gently, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp will have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp.
  • Cook the shrimp properly. Overcooked shrimp are tough and chewy. Shrimp should be cooked until they are just opaque and pink.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the shrimp and pasta without being too runny.
  • Use a good quality white wine. The wine will add flavor to the sauce, so it is important to use a good quality wine that you enjoy drinking.
  • Serve the dish immediately. Shrimp and cream sauce is best served immediately after it is made.

Conclusion:

Shrimp and cream sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great dish to serve at a party or potluck. The creamy sauce is rich and flavorful, and the shrimp are cooked to perfection. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
