I love cream sauce and I love pasta! This recipe for Shrimp Linguine Alfredo is delicious!


Shrimp Linguine Alfredo
Adapted from Allrecipes.com
Makes 4 servings

Ingredients
  • 5 cups cooked pasta
  • 3 tablespoons each butter & olive oil
  • 4 cloves minced garlic
  • 40 shrimp peeled & deveined
  • 1 teaspoon flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup milk
  • 6 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
  • Lemons
Directions
  • Melt butter in oil in a large nonstick pan over medium high heat.
  • Add garlic and fry only for a few seconds just until it starts to change colour. Add shrimp and cook just until they're almost pink. Remove the shrimp to a bowl immediately. If you overcook your shrimp they will be chewy!

  • Stir in the cheese.
  • Add the shrimp back and cook just for a minute to heat through.
  • Add the pasta and parsley and give it a toss. It's ready to serve. Squeeze a little lemon on it before you eat it. Yummy!
Tips:
  • You could make this with chunks of chicken breast.

    I tried this today. Very good. I added whipping cream to the mix and a little more cheese.
