Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 lb fettuccine
1 lb shrimp
6 tablespoons butter, divided
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
1 1/3 cups parmesan cheese, grated
1 tablespoon flour
1 (16 ounce) box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
cajun seasoning
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper (approximately)

  • Sprinkle the shrimp with Cajun seasoning and set aside.
  • In a small bowl stir together the flour and grated parmesan.
  • Add your pasta to the boiling water.
  • Heat 4TBSP of butter in one skillet over medium heat, add four cloves of minced garlic and sautee for a minute.
  • Add drained spinach and stir often until heated through.
  • While the spinach is heating, melt 2TBSP butter in a second skillet over medium to medium high heat. Watch this pan carefully you do not want to burn the butter.
  • Stir 1 1/2 cups half and half into the spinach.
  • Slowly sprinkle in the parmesan/flour combination stirring well.
  • Reduce heat to low, season with pepper and stir occasionally.
  • Add shrimp to the butter in the second skillet, reduce heat to medium and stir. The shrimp will cook quickly and it is important to remove them from the heat as soon as they are pink and the flesh is no longer translucent. If the shimp is overcooked it will become rubbery.
  • Drain the pasta.
  • To give your plates a professional look, scoop a serving of fettucini into the center of the plate and with tongs give the whole bunch a twist. This brings the noodles into a nice pile.
  • Scoop a ladlefull of sauce over the noodles and arrange the shrimp on top.

SHRIMP FETTUCCINE ALFREDO OVER SPINACH NOODLES



Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo over Spinach Noodles image

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?).

SHRIMP & SPINACH ALFREDO RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Shrimp & Spinach Alfredo Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by á-41955

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds shrimp, deveined and shells/tails removed
3 cups heavy cream
6 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 onion
3 cloves garlic, chopped
Juice of half a lemon
1 bag prewashed baby spinach
1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
2 tablespoons flour
Salt and pepper
1 pound pasta, your choice

Steps:

  • Start by heating the water for the pasta. You can do everything else in the time it takes for the water to boil and the pasta to cook. Saute the spinach in a dry non stick skillet until just wilted. When cooled, squeeze the moisture out of it. Reserve. Put the same pan back on a medium burner and add 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Saute the shrimp until just pink. Reserve. Wipe out the pan, but it back on medium and melt 4 tablespoons butter. When melted, add the onion and saute until translucent (about 2 minutes). Add the garlic and saute another minute or so. Sprinkle the flour onto the onion and garlic mixture and cook another minute. If it clumps up too much, add a little more butter. Pour in the cream and lemon juice and bring to a simmer. Add the cheese, stirring to melt. Reduce to low and let thicken. Add salt and pepper to taste. When the pasta is done, just mix everything together! If the sauce gets too thick, just add a bit more cream or even a little bit of the pasta cooking water to thin it a little bit.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use homemade Alfredo sauce instead of store-bought. There are many easy recipes available online.
  • If you don't have spinach on hand, you can substitute kale or arugula.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a little spice.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is always best, but you can use pre-shredded cheese if you're short on time.
  • Serve the shrimp and spinach Alfredo over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Shrimp and spinach Alfredo is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's sure to please the whole family. The creamy Alfredo sauce is rich and flavorful, and the shrimp and spinach add a healthy dose of protein and vitamins. Serve it over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
