Number Of Ingredients 14

For the Pasta:
1/2 lb. (8 oz.) fettuccine
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
2 Tbsp. all purpose flour
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup milk (I used 1%)
salt and pepper to taste

For the Shrimp:
1/2 lb. medium-sized shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 Tbsp. olive oil

salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • For the Pasta: 1.Cook fettuccine in very salty water until al dente. Drain, set aside, and return empty pot to the stove. 2.Melt butter in pot over medium heat. When butter is melted, whisk in flour to form a roux. Cook for 1 minute until roux is fragrant. 3.Slowly add white wine to roux, whisking constantly to incorporate. The mixture will thicken pretty quickly - just keep whisking! 4.Add milk to mixture and whisk to combine. Bring mixture to a low simmer, whisking frequently, then remove from heat and stir in salt, pepper, and cheese. Stir until cheese has melted and you have a smooth sauce. For the Shrimp: 1.Heat oil in a medium-sized skillet until shimmering. Add garlic, shrimp, salt and pepper and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp is pink and cooked through. Shrimp quicks very quickly, so keep an eye on it - they shouldn't take more than 5 or 6 minutes! To Assemble: 1.Add cooked pasta and shrimp to sauce pot and toss to combine. Top with fresh chopped parsley for garnish and serve immediately.

CREAMY SHRIMP ALFREDO RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Creamy Shrimp Alfredo Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by Sandyhstn

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 package Knorr Alfredo Pasta Sides
1 Cup cherry tomatoes
2 Cups baby spinach leaves
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 lb. peeled and deveined uncooked medium shrimp
2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to package directions, stirring in cherry tomatoes and spinach during the last 5 minutes of cook time. Meanwhile, heat oil in large nonstick skillet and cook shrimp, stirring occasionally, until shrimp turn pink, about 5 minutes. Stir cooked shrimp into hot pasta and sprinkle with cheese.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients you use, the better your Creamy Shrimp Alfredo will be.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make Creamy Shrimp Alfredo. Feel free to add your own favorite ingredients or adjust the recipe to your liking.

Conclusion:

Creamy Shrimp Alfredo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover shrimp, and it's also a great dish to serve to company. If you're looking for a creamy, cheesy, and flavorful pasta dish, then Creamy Shrimp Alfredo is the perfect recipe for you.
