OLD BAY® SHRIMP AND PASTA ALFREDO



Old Bay® Shrimp and Pasta Alfredo image

This recipe came from my Italian family. It is not only delicious but so quick and easy. Measurements really aren't necessary--make it your own. You can't go wrong with too much seasoning or too little. Go easy on the lemon is my only recommendation. Unless you love lemon! Adding Parmesan cheese is really delish and the Alfredo sauce gives it a nice hot and creamy texture.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh shrimp, good quality Alfredo sauce, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese will make a big difference.

  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the shrimp. If you do, they will not cook evenly.
  • Add the shrimp to the pasta sauce at the end of cooking. This will help to prevent them from overcooking.
  • Serve the pasta immediately, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.

This fast shrimp pasta with Alfredo sauce is a delicious and easy meal that can be made in under 30 minutes. It is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a quick lunch. The shrimp are cooked to perfection and the Alfredo sauce is creamy and flavorful. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
