FETTUCCINE ALFREDO WITH GRILLED CHICKEN & SHRIMP RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Fettuccine Alfredo with Grilled Chicken & Shrimp Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by Tricia33

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large chicken breast
6 large shrimp
Olive oil
Pinch garlic salt
Pepper, to taste
4 ounces fettuccine
1/2 cup butter
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 pint heavy cream
1 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Rinse the chicken and the shrimp, pat dry. Drizzle olive oil over both sides of the chicken breast and over the shrimp, season both with garlic salt and pepper. Oil the grill grates and preheat grill to medium-high. Thread the shrimp onto wooden skewers that have been soaking in water for at least 1 hour. Place the chicken directly over the flame and the shrimp on the top rack of your grill. Grill the shrimp until it is cooked through (they should be pink) and golden brown. Grill the chicken for 8 to 10 minutes on each side or until no longer pink in the middle. Remove both from grill and allow to cool. Slide or chop the cooked chicken. You can cut the shrimp in half too if you desire. If it's too early to grill, simply season the chicken breast and cut in bite sized pieces and saute in olive oil over medium high heat turning frequently until brown and crispy and cooked through. Then do the same with the shrimp. Shrimp will turn bright pink when finished cooking and only take a few minutes of sauteing on each side. Cook the fettuccine according the package directions. Drain well and set aside. In a medium saucepan, add the butter and melt over medium heat. Whisk in flour, stirring to combine. Allow to cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream. Allow to come to a slow simmer. Reduce heat to low and add the parmesan cheese. Stir continually, until the cheese has all melted and the sauce has thickened. Add the garlic salt and pepper; stir to combine. Add the chicken and shrimp to the sauce. Pile fettuccine onto a plate or in a bowl, pour sauce over top, and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around while you're cooking.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your food well. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Cook the Pasta Al Dente: Pasta should be cooked al dente, meaning it should be slightly firm to the bite. This will help it hold its shape and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When cooking the chicken and shrimp, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Use Fresh Vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your dish the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh vegetables, frozen vegetables can also be used.
  • Garnish Before Serving: Before serving, garnish your dish with fresh herbs, grated Parmesan cheese, or a squeeze of lemon juice to add extra flavor and visual appeal.

Conclusion:

Chicken Shrimp Fettuccine is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its creamy sauce, tender chicken and shrimp, and flavorful vegetables, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
