SPICY SHRIMP FETTUCCINE ALFREDO
I make this spicy shrimp pasta a lot because it's a something my family never seems to get tired of. The sauce is so fast to make I can get it done while the fettuccine is cooking. In the past, I have added red peppers and spinach, but who's to say you could not add mushrooms or more or less spice. -Stephanie Beluk, Sharpsburg, Georgia

"This has always been a favorite, so when I started cooking healthier, I tried different ways to lighten it. Less butter and fat-free half-and-half worked well, along with using a little flour to thicken the sauce. " Evelyn Slade - Fruita, CO

SHRIMP FETTUCCINE ALFREDO OVER SPINACH NOODLES
This was the only dish my father ever made, but it was so rich tasting, he fooled everyone into thinking he could cook! His trick was a bit of blue cheese in the alfredo sauce. I prefer shrimp in this dish, but chicken would work as well. If you opt for shrimp, use jumbo large shrimp so that they can stand-up against this thick sauce and spinach noodles. This dish is fairly simple with few ingredients... but make sure that your serving dishes, tools and ingredients are prepped beforehand in order to help with fast timing. Shrimp and fresh pasta are easy to over-cook (Or is that just me?).

FETTUCCINE ALFREDO WITH GRILLED CHICKEN & SHRIMP RECIPE - (4.2/5)
Provided by Tricia33
Number Of Ingredients 12
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!

Steps:
- Cook pasta according topackage directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain pasta in a colander over a bowl, reserving 1/4 cup cooking liquid. Combine shrimp, onions, and garlic in a small bowl. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil; swirl to coat. Add shrimp mixture, and saute' for 4 min. or until shrimp are done. Remove from pan; keep warm. Reduce heat to medium. Add reserved cooking liquid. Prmigiano-Reggiano, half-and-half. cream cheese, and pepper to a pan. Cook 2 min. or until cheeses melt. Combine pasta cheese mixture and shrimp mixture. Sprinkle with parsley.
Tips:
- Use Fresh Seafood: For the most succulent and flavorful shrimp, opt for fresh, wild-caught shrimp. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them properly before cooking.
- Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
- Use High-Quality Cheese: The quality of the cheese you use will greatly impact the flavor of your Alfredo sauce. Choose a high-quality Parmesan cheese that is freshly grated.
- Make Sure the Sauce is Thick Enough: The Alfredo sauce should be thick and creamy, not thin and watery. If your sauce is too thin, you can thicken it by adding more grated Parmesan cheese or by simmering it for a few minutes.
- Serve Immediately: Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo is best served immediately after it is made. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can cook the shrimp and sauce separately and then reheat them just before serving.
