SHRIMP FETTUCCINE ALFREDO OVER SPINACH NOODLES



Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo over Spinach Noodles image

This was the only dish my father ever made, but it was so rich tasting, he fooled everyone into thinking he could cook! His trick was a bit of blue cheese in the alfredo sauce. I prefer shrimp in this dish, but chicken would work as well. If you opt for shrimp, use jumbo large shrimp so that they can stand-up against this thick sauce and spinach noodles. This dish is fairly simple with few ingredients... but make sure that your serving dishes, tools and ingredients are prepped beforehand in order to help with fast timing. Shrimp and fresh pasta are easy to over-cook (Or is that just me?).

SHRIMP & SPINACH ALFREDO RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Shrimp & Spinach Alfredo Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by á-41955

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds shrimp, deveined and shells/tails removed
3 cups heavy cream
6 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 onion
3 cloves garlic, chopped
Juice of half a lemon
1 bag prewashed baby spinach
1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
2 tablespoons flour
Salt and pepper
1 pound pasta, your choice

Steps:

  • Start by heating the water for the pasta. You can do everything else in the time it takes for the water to boil and the pasta to cook. Saute the spinach in a dry non stick skillet until just wilted. When cooled, squeeze the moisture out of it. Reserve. Put the same pan back on a medium burner and add 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Saute the shrimp until just pink. Reserve. Wipe out the pan, but it back on medium and melt 4 tablespoons butter. When melted, add the onion and saute until translucent (about 2 minutes). Add the garlic and saute another minute or so. Sprinkle the flour onto the onion and garlic mixture and cook another minute. If it clumps up too much, add a little more butter. Pour in the cream and lemon juice and bring to a simmer. Add the cheese, stirring to melt. Reduce to low and let thicken. Add salt and pepper to taste. When the pasta is done, just mix everything together! If the sauce gets too thick, just add a bit more cream or even a little bit of the pasta cooking water to thin it a little bit.

Tips:

  • Buy fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp should be firm and have a mild, briny smell. Avoid shrimp that is slimy or has a strong fishy odor.
  • Cook the shrimp properly. Shrimp should be cooked until it is opaque and pink. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use fresh spinach. Fresh spinach should be dark green and have no signs of wilting. Avoid spinach that is yellow or brown.
  • Wilt the spinach properly. Wilting the spinach will remove excess moisture and help it to cook evenly.
  • Use a good quality Alfredo sauce. A good quality Alfredo sauce will be made with fresh cream, butter, and Parmesan cheese. Avoid Alfredo sauces that are made with artificial ingredients.
  • Serve the dish immediately. Shrimp and spinach Alfredo is best served immediately after it is made. The shrimp will become tough and the sauce will thicken if it is allowed to sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Shrimp and spinach Alfredo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover shrimp. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give shrimp and spinach Alfredo a try.
