The combination of juicy shrimp, velvety Alfredo sauce and perfectly cooked fettuccine is a tempting dish perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions. This recipe takes the threat out of preparing classic Italian dishes by breaking the process down into easy-to-understand steps. You will love it!
pasta options
Fettuccine is a classic choice for Alfredo dishes, but other types of pasta can be used. We also recommend short pastas such as penne and farfalle, which are often entwined with sauce. Adjust the cooking time according to your favorite pasta.
Value of quality ingredients
Using high-quality ingredients can truly enhance your Alfredo sauce, enhancing both the flavor and texture of your dish. Fresh, premium products such as quality Parmesan cheese and fresh shrimp help create a fun and authentic experience. Substitutions can be made, but it’s important to keep in mind that they may affect the taste and consistency of the dish.
shrimp options
When choosing shrimp for this recipe, choose fresh, large or jumbo-sized shrimp as they provide a better texture and flavor than smaller or cooked shrimp. If fresh shrimp is not available, frozen, raw, deveined, and peeled shrimp can be used. Be sure to thaw properly before cooking. Both wild and farmed shrimp work well, with wild shrimp providing a more robust flavor and farmed shrimp providing consistency in size and appearance.
serving suggestions
Combine shrimp Alfredo with a simple green salad and toss with a light vinaigrette to balance the richness of the dish. It can also be served with garlic bread or steamed vegetables such as asparagus or broccoli for added texture and flavor.
Storage and reheating instructions
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place pan over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sauce from sticking. If the sauce thickens during storage, you may need to thin it by adding a little milk or chicken broth in halves.
