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.

I’d probably have to substitute chicken in this house but I can almost taste the sauce!
My kids are going to love this! Alfredo AND shrimp together…this is one dish I won’t have to beg them to eat!
Yum! How well do you think this would freeze?
I am not sure…I would check guidelines and freeze it according to those. I would assume no longer than 30 days.
shrimp is the best source of protein just be careful with calories contain with pasta 🙂
This looks delicious!! I am a sucker for good alfredo. Just pinned it!!
I’m trying the recipe now. Your directions do not include when or where to add butter. Thanks.
In step 2, I have added that. Thanks for letting me know!
