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.

  1. Absolutely delicious.
    I’d probably have to substitute chicken in this house but I can almost taste the sauce!

  2. Yum! How well do you think this would freeze?

    1. I am not sure…I would check guidelines and freeze it according to those. I would assume no longer than 30 days.
