Creamy Alfredo and Shrimp Pasta

I am such a huge fan of a good creamy Alfredo sauce, and this recipe makes a good one! Being a seafood lover, I always try and add something in to give it a little kick. With a well-seasoned shrimp, this dish is a crowd pleaser in our house.

This dish can actually be versatile as well. You can always substitute chicken for the shrimp if you don’t have any seafood fans in the house. For this recipe, I am going to share this amazing flavored shrimp that will turn this dish into one of your favorites.

Creamy Alfredo and Shrimp Pasta

• fettucini pasta
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 lb cooked and peeled shrimp
• 1 cup half and half
• 6 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• salt to taste

Italian Seasoning (for the shrimp)

• 2 tbsp basil
• 2 tbsp marjoram
• 2 tbsp oregano
• 2 tbsp rosemary
• 2 tbsp thyme

Step 1:  Bring a large pot of water (lightly salted) to boil and add the fettucini noodles, cooking for 8 – 10 minutes and stirring occasionally.

Step 2: In a pan heat up half and half, butter, and add in parmesan one tbsp at a time. Do NOT bring to a boil. Add in parsley and salt to taste. Allow it to thicken as desired.

Step 3: Place basil, marjoram, oregano, rosemary, and thyme in a small dish and mix well. Place shrimp on a small plate and coat well with seasoning.

Step 4: Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a small skillet and lightly saute the shrimp, adding extra italian seasoning if needed.

Step 5: Drain noodles and place on a plate. Cover with Alfredo sauce and top with seasoned shrimp. Serve warm.

This is such a YUMMY recipe. Sure, you have a few ingredients you will need to use when making this, but sometimes these are the meals you will THOROUGHLY enjoy.

This recipe is so creamy, full of flavor, and a total family pleaser in this house.
