You're going to love this recipe with its nice warm creamy sauce that has garlic and cheese cheesy and it is so easy to make. The family is going to love this Shrimp Alfredo pasta.
My wife loves shrimp and we have been seeing a lot of things for scrim scampy. I thought that would be something that she would, like but when we talked about it she said that she would rather have it with some Alfredo sauce than that it was not so oily. In our home right now we are not too crazy about having the correct noodles. Just kind of use whatever noodles we have at the time so we use spaghetti for a lot of different things
This is not an authentic Alfredo so we do make the Alfredo sauce different, think that it still tastes really good and is a little easier than making an original sauce but I think that you are going to love this Shrimp Alfredo Pasta
Variations
What you can use instead of heavy cream you can use butter and milk, half and half, evaporated milk, or even coconut cream all of these will help with sauce and cream. I have used all but the coconut cream they all pretty good but they all have their own little differences
Change the noodles that you are using. You could really use any noodles that you and if you really want you would be able to make it more like mac and cheese or use shells
Shrimp preparation tips
Depending on the shrimp that you use you may have to peel them before you cook
If you are using frozen shrimp then you will want to thaw them before cooking to help them cook better
This is how we made it with just a few simple ingredients
Butter: Helps with the cooking process and adds some additional flavor to the shrimp
Heavy cream: where most of the cream flavor comes from to the Alfredo
Parmesan cheese: normally one of the main things of the alfredo sauce but is used to help add additional flavor and thicken the sauce some
Shrimp: These are the proteins of the meal. You can use the size that you want we tend to use the large but if you want to have more that are smaller you can use smaller shrimp. I would say you would still want to use about a pound
Noodles: This is the main base of the dish. You get to lead up all the amazing sauce onto it so pick your favorite transport vehicle to get it into your mouth
Seasoning: We use black pepper, salt, and garlic
