Shannons Shrimp Alfredo Recipes

SHRIMP ALFREDO PASTA RECIPE

Steps:

• Cook 3/4 lb fettuccini noodles in salted water according to package instructions and drain. Don't rinse (this helps the sauce stick to the noodles better).
• Lightly season shrimp with salt, pepper and paprika. Preheat a large skillet to med/high and add 1 Tbsp oil. Once oil is hot, add shrimp in a single layer and cook 1-2 min per side or just until fully cooked and no longer translucent. They should be golden/pink on the outside and opaque white on the inside. Don't over-do it or they will be rubbery. Remove shrimp to a separate bowl.
• In same pan, over medium/high heat, add 2 Tbsp butter and onion and sauté onion till golden. Stir in garlic and sauté another minute. Stir in 1/3 cup white wine and reduce to 25% scraping the bottom to deglaze the pan.
• Stir in Cream and simmer for 2 min. Next, sprinkle the top with 1/3 cup parmesan (or add to taste) and stir just until creamy and smooth and remove from heat. Don't boil or the cheese will separate from the cream. Add about 1/4 tsp paprika and season with S&P to taste.
• Add the cooked shrimp and drained (un-rinsed pasta). Garnish with parsley, basil, extra parmesan or freshly cracked pepper if desired.

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.
