I need an AWESOME shrimp fettucine alfredo recipe!?!
Our 2 year anniversary, and of course, Valentine's Day is coming up. I usually make him dinner for these events, and I'd love to make him a mind blowing shrimp fettucine alfredo. We'll be celebrating both events on Feb. 12th because we won't see each other due to work on our anniversary (Feb. 11th) or Valentine's Day.
Any suggestions for a great recipe?
Thanks in advance! :)
Answers: During lunch today, my boyfriend revealed that he loves a good fettucine alfredo (and I already know he loves shrimp).

DIRECTIONS
1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
2. In a large skillet, saute shrimp and garlic in the butter for about one minute. Pour in half and half; stir. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese in one tablespoon at a time, stirring constantly. After all Parmesan is added, mix in parsley and salt. Stir frequently making sure it does not boil. Sauce will take a while to thicken.

Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo
Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) package fettuccine pasta
1/2 cup margarine
1 pint heavy cream
1 pint 1% low-fat milk
6 ounces Parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic
1 cup mushrooms
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 lb shrimp, cooked, peeled and deveined
Steps:
1. Cook Fettuccine according to package instructions.
2. Simultaneously, saute mushrooms over medium-low heat with a little bit of garlic.
3. I use olive oil cooking spray to cut down on fat.
4. Add the shrimp to warm them after the mushrooms have been on a few minutes.
5. Melt the margarine (butter works great as well).
6. When melted, stir in the cream and milk.
7. Add the cheese.
8. Continue to stir to minimize separation.
9. It will be quite runny as it thickens over the pasta.
10. Drain the pasta and return to pot.
11. Immediately pour the sauce over the pasta (you will have a bit too much) and then add the tomatoes, shrimp and mushrooms.
12. Stir for a minute or so, until the sauce thickens.
Good luck & enjoy! =)
I looked at the other recipes, my secret is to make a thin white sauce (Alfredo Sauce)
3 tbsp melted butter or olive oil
2 tbsp flour
1 cup milk
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
Directions
Use a sauce pan or frying pan
mix all the ingredients in a blender or with a mixer
pour into a saucepan and heat on medium stirring until thickened
add water to thin your sauce if needed
Grated Cheddar cheese can be added to sauce and let melt into sauce.
remove from stove
Cook shrimp in boiling water about 5 minutes if purchased uncooked.
add shrimp to Alfredo sauce

To Die For Fettuccine Alfredo
My boyfriend is a fettuccine Alfredo connoisseur and he scrapes the pan every time! I get nothing but rave reviews when I make this dish.
INGREDIENTS
24 ounces dry fettuccini pasta
1 tablespoon butter
24 oz cooked shrimp - peeled and deveined
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup butter
3/4 pint heavy cream
salt and pepper to taste
1 dash garlic salt
3/4 cup grated Romano cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
DIRECTIONS
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add fettuccini and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
In a large skillet, saute shrimp and garlic in the butter for about one minute. Then melt the additional 1 cup butter, and add cream over low heat. Add salt, pepper and garlic salt. Stir in cheese over medium heat until melted; this will thicken the sauce.
Add pasta to sauce. Use enough of the pasta so that all of the sauce is used and the pasta is thoroughly coated. Serve immediately
