SHRIMP ALFREDO

Steps:

• Cook fettuccine according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in cream. Bring to a gentle boil.

Sprinkle with parsley.

SHRIMP FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

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.

LEMON SHRIMP ALFREDO

Steps:

• Place a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter. When the oil is hot and the butter has melted, add the shrimp and sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink in color and cooked, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Quickly remove them from the skillet.
• Add the remaining 10 tablespoons butter and the cream to the same skillet. Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, reducing the heat as needed, making sure it doesn't boil. Stir in 1 1/2 cups Parmesan, the lemon zest and garlic. Return the shrimp to the skillet and coat in the sauce, then add the parsley and toss to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
• Sprinkle over the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan and more parsley, and garnish with lemon wedges. Serve straight from the skillet.

SHANNON'S SHRIMP ALFREDO

Steps:

• Start the pasta boiling. Peel the shrimp and devein them if you would like. Set them aside.
• Dice onion and saute in butter with the garlic. When onions are crisp-tender (3-5 min.), add tomatoes and shrimp. If a whole can of tomatoes is more than you think your family will want, then only add half. Cook, stirring often until shrimp is done. If you overcook the shrimp it will be tough. Remove pan from heat. If there is a lot of juice from the tomatoes, pour some out. A little juice is good. Add alfredo sauce and stir. Return to low heat to warm sauce.
• Drain pasta noodle. Pour shrimp and alfredo sauce over noodles and stir.
• Like most of my recipes, this one is very forgiving and easy to manipulate. Sometimes I leave the tomatoes out, sometimes I add some fresh basil. I hope you enjoy.
