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.

SHRIMP ALFREDO PASTA RECIPE



Shrimp Alfredo Pasta Recipe image

This Shrimp Fettuccine Aflredo is a major comfort food. There's just something about a mountain of pasta consumed by rich creamy sauce, and studded with large, tender shrimp that has my name written all over it. It reminds me of my favorite dish at Olive Garden; seafood alfredo. It's also surprisingly easy to make; ready in under 30 minutes!

Provided by Natasha of NatashasKitchen.com

Categories     Easy

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 lb fettuccine or penne pasta
1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
1 Tbsp oil
1 small onion (finely chopped)
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 garlic clove
1/3 cup white wine (I used Ste Chapelle Chardonay ~$6)
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup parmesan cheese
S&P to taste
Sprinkle of paprika
Parsley or basil for garnish if desired

Steps:

  • Cook 3/4 lb fettuccini noodles in salted water according to package instructions and drain. Don't rinse (this helps the sauce stick to the noodles better).
  • Lightly season shrimp with salt, pepper and paprika. Preheat a large skillet to med/high and add 1 Tbsp oil. Once oil is hot, add shrimp in a single layer and cook 1-2 min per side or just until fully cooked and no longer translucent. They should be golden/pink on the outside and opaque white on the inside. Don't over-do it or they will be rubbery. Remove shrimp to a separate bowl.
  • In same pan, over medium/high heat, add 2 Tbsp butter and onion and sauté onion till golden. Stir in garlic and sauté another minute. Stir in 1/3 cup white wine and reduce to 25% scraping the bottom to deglaze the pan.
  • Stir in Cream and simmer for 2 min. Next, sprinkle the top with 1/3 cup parmesan (or add to taste) and stir just until creamy and smooth and remove from heat. Don't boil or the cheese will separate from the cream. Add about 1/4 tsp paprika and season with S&P to taste.
  • Add the cooked shrimp and drained (un-rinsed pasta). Garnish with parsley, basil, extra parmesan or freshly cracked pepper if desired.

SHRIMP SCAMPI WITH PASTA ALFREDO



Shrimp Scampi With Pasta Alfredo image

It just doesn't get any easier than this! Not including the marinating and pasta water heating time, dinner is on the table in ten minutes. My family has been passing around this little jewel of a recipe for a couple of years and I usually make it about twice a month. I just eyeball the amount of ingredients, so use your own judgment if things don't look right. To make it even easier, I usually prepare the raw shrimp/marinade mixture in Ziploc bags and stuff them in the freezer for super-quick mid-week dinners (I cook the shrimp without thawing them-justs takes a minute or two longer). My mom likes to add 1/2 teaspoon of dry mustard to her marinade, but I omit it due to personal preference.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb raw shrimp, shelled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1 tablespoon Italian dressing
1 teaspoon salt
1 dash crushed red pepper flakes
1 dash ground black pepper
1 lb dry pasta (angel hair, spaghetti or fettuccine work great)
1 cup half-and-half (or heavy cream)
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Marinate the shrimp in the other ingredients until you are ready for them.
  • Thirty minutes before you are ready to serve, start heating the pasta water and place the half-and-half and butter in a large serving bowl to soften (sometimes I nuke it in the microwave for a minute or two).
  • Put a large skillet over high (or medium high) heat to get it really hot.
  • When the pasta is about three minutes away from being done (done=al dente), dump the shrimp and marinade into the hot skillet.
  • Toss the shrimp around as they cook.
  • Once the shrimp are pink and curled-up (about three minutes), remove the skillet from the heat.
  • Drain the pasta and dump it into the serving bowl with the half-and-half and butter.
  • Add the Parmesan cheese, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper and toss together gently (the residual heat from the pasta melts everything together).
  • Pour the shrimp and sauce over the top and serve immediately.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, plus more for the casserole dish
12 ounces rotini pasta
1 pound frozen peeled and deveined medium shrimp
2 cups chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 cloves garlic, minced
Zest of 1/2 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/3 cup loosely packed fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream, warmed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Generously grease the bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish with butter.
  • Spread the rotini in an even layer in the bottom of the prepared dish. Scatter the shrimp over top and dot with the cubes of butter. Pour in the broth, then sprinkle with the red pepper flakes, garlic, lemon zest, 2 teaspoons salt and some black pepper. Cover with aluminum foil and bake until the pasta is al dente, about 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, toss together the Parmesan and parsley. When the pasta is done, stir in the warm cream and top with the cheese mixture.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp. Frozen shrimp can be used, but fresh shrimp will give your scampi a better flavor and texture.
  • Marinate the shrimp. Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and herbs will help to flavor the shrimp and make it more tender.
  • Cook the shrimp properly. Shrimp should be cooked quickly over high heat. Overcooking will make the shrimp tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality Alfredo sauce. A good quality Alfredo sauce will make a big difference in the flavor of your scampi. You can use a store-bought Alfredo sauce or make your own.
  • Add some vegetables to your scampi. Vegetables such as broccoli, asparagus, and zucchini can be added to your scampi to make it a more complete and nutritious meal.

Conclusion:

Shrimp scampi is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. With a few simple tips, you can make a shrimp scampi that is sure to impress your family and friends.
