SHRIMP FETTUCCINE ALFREDO



Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo image

This take on a classic Italian-American recipe is super easy to make. Slightly reducing the cream and adding a hefty dose of cheese means you don't have to use flour to thicken the sauce.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Kosher salt
12 ounces fettuccine
Olive oil, for tossing
3/4 pound large shrimp (about 16), peeled and deveined, tails removed
Freshly ground black pepper
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
2 cups heavy cream
2 pinches freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt generously. Add the pasta, and boil according to package directions until al dente, tender but still slightly firm. Strain, and toss with a splash of oil.
  • Meanwhile, arrange the shrimp in a single layer on a large pie pan or paper plate, and pat them with a paper towel until completely dry. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and add 2 tablespoons of the butter. When the butter melts, raise the heat to medium-high, and invert the plate of shrimp over the skillet so the shrimp fall into the pan all at once. Cook the shrimp, without moving them, until the underside is pink, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the shrimp, and cook until fully pink and cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl.
  • Reduce the heat to medium, and add the remaining 6 tablespoons butter. Scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. When the butter has mostly melted, whisk in the cream and nutmeg and bring to a simmer, then cook for 2 minutes. Lower the heat to keep the sauce warm.
  • Whisk the Parmigiano-Reggiano into the sauce. Add the shrimp and cooked pasta, and toss well. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot in heated bowls.

SALMON AND SHRIMP FETTUCCINE ALFREDO RECIPE - (3.9/5)



Salmon and Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by bns0607

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound salmon, cut into cubes
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup butter
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 cube Knorr Chicken Stock
1/2 packet of Sazon Goya
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 jar alfredo sauce
1 box of linguine

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan add all ingredients (butter, garlic, stock cube, paprika, pepper, Sazon) and simmer until butter and stock cube are melted. (You will have to stir so that everything melts). In the meantime, in a larger pot, bring linguine to a boil. (cook about 15-20 minutes). Once mixture has melted, put salmon in and simmer until salmon is cooked on both sides. Add the shrimp and bring heat down to low, cover pan and let simmer for about 10 minutes (until pasta is done). Drain the pasta (you can reserve the pasta water,as you will have to fill the Alfredo jar with water). Add everything from the saucepan into the pasta. Empty the jar of Alfredo sauce and halfway up again with water (you can use the pasta water, or put clean water-makes no difference). Bring to a boil and let simmer for about 5-10 minutes so all the ingredients come together. Serve with Garlic bread! DELICIOUS! *Depending on what consistency of the sauce you like, you can use two jars of Alfredo sauce, and fill one jar with water.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Try to find the best shrimp, spinach, and fettuccine you can.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan. This will help to prevent the sauce from scorching.
  • Don't skimp on the butter. Butter adds a rich, creamy flavor to the sauce. If you don't have any butter on hand, you can use a mixture of olive oil and butter.
  • Use a good quality Parmesan cheese. The Parmesan cheese is what gives the Alfredo sauce its distinctive flavor. Make sure you use a good quality Parmesan cheese that is freshly grated.

Conclusion:

Spicy shrimp and spinach fettuccine Alfredo 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.
