Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo image

This take on a classic Italian-American recipe is super easy to make. Slightly reducing the cream and adding a hefty dose of cheese means you don't have to use flour to thicken the sauce.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Kosher salt
12 ounces fettuccine
Olive oil, for tossing
3/4 pound large shrimp (about 16), peeled and deveined, tails removed
Freshly ground black pepper
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
2 cups heavy cream
2 pinches freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt generously. Add the pasta, and boil according to package directions until al dente, tender but still slightly firm. Strain, and toss with a splash of oil.
  • Meanwhile, arrange the shrimp in a single layer on a large pie pan or paper plate, and pat them with a paper towel until completely dry. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and add 2 tablespoons of the butter. When the butter melts, raise the heat to medium-high, and invert the plate of shrimp over the skillet so the shrimp fall into the pan all at once. Cook the shrimp, without moving them, until the underside is pink, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the shrimp, and cook until fully pink and cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl.
  • Reduce the heat to medium, and add the remaining 6 tablespoons butter. Scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. When the butter has mostly melted, whisk in the cream and nutmeg and bring to a simmer, then cook for 2 minutes. Lower the heat to keep the sauce warm.
  • Whisk the Parmigiano-Reggiano into the sauce. Add the shrimp and cooked pasta, and toss well. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot in heated bowls.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around in the middle of cooking.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. This is especially important for the shrimp and vegetables.
  • Cook the Shrimp Properly: Overcooked shrimp is tough and rubbery, so be careful not to overcook it. Cook the shrimp until it is just pink and opaque.
  • Use a Good Quality Fettuccine: The fettuccine is the backbone of this dish, so make sure you use a good quality pasta. Look for a pasta that is made with durum wheat and has a slightly rough texture.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When you are cooking the shrimp and vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the food to steam instead of sautéing.
  • Use a Splash of White Wine: A splash of white wine adds a nice depth of flavor to the sauce. If you don't have white wine on hand, you can use chicken broth or water.
  • Season to Taste: Be sure to season the dish to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice for a bit of brightness.

Conclusion:

This Louisiana Shrimp Fettuccine is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover shrimp. The combination of shrimp, vegetables, and fettuccine in a creamy sauce is sure to please everyone at the table.
