Shrimp with Alfredo Sauce Recipe

Shrimp Alfredo is one of the most famous dishes in American Cuisine when it comes to either pasta or shrimp. As with all Alfredo sauce recipes, there are many known variations, but the basic recipe is still easy, tasty and will not take more than 20 minutes.

Ingredients

1 ½ lbs of medium seized shrimp, thawed, peeled and deveined (optional)
2 tablespoons of olive oil
½ cup of butter
1 cup heavy cream (light cream is fine as well)
1 ½ cup of Parmesan cheese, grounded
2 tablespoons of crushed red pepper flakes
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
¼ tablespoon of salt
Pepper
A dash of nutmeg
¼ cup of chopped parsley

Directions

Give the oil, 1 tablespoon of pepper flakes, one clove of garlic and the shrimp in a large frying pan. Fry them until the shrimp turn pink, set them aside and melt the butter in a medium seized skillet at low heat. Add the remaining garlic, which should turn transparent until the butter has melted. Now give the cream to the butter, stir well, give one cup of Parmesan cheese to the composition and stir until your sauce is well blended. Remove from heat, add the shrimp, nutmeg, salt and pepper and stir well.
Serve it with pasta fettuccine (or another pasta of your choice), garnish with parsley.

Tips

The shrimp do not have to be deveined. Brined shrimp are perfect as their flavor is very intensive.
