Christmas Eve Fettucini Alfredo And Shrimp Recipes

SHRIMP FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

Steps:

• 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.
• In a large skillet, cook and stir 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.
• When sauce has thickened, combine with cooked pasta noodles; serve hot.

SHRIMP FETTUCCINE ALFREDO PASTA BAKE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium high heat. Add fettuccine and 1 teaspoon salt into the boiling water to cook according to package instructions until al dente (in other words, firm to the bite). Fresh fettuccine takes a shorter time to cook thoroughly, about 3 minutes.
• Drain the fettuccine in a colander to be added into the skillet directly without rinsing.
• Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium high heat for 2 minutes until oil starts to sizzle and shimmer. Add shrimp and cook until they turn orange, stirring frequently, about 2-3 minutes. Add garlic, onions and parsley and stir well. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and onions are soft and translucent.
• Add melted butter, cream cheese and heavy whipping cream. Stir well and cook for about 2 minutes until the mixture forms into a uniform texture. Stir in Parmesan cheese and black pepper. Stir well for 1 more minute to combine all ingredients. You will notice the mixture start to thicken a bit. (You can used also store-bought alfredo sauce instead and simply add in the sauce at this stage instead of the ingredients added in this step).
• Turn off the heat and leave the sauce mixture in the skillet. Add the cooked fettuccine and toss well to combine. Sprinkle salt flakes on top to taste. If you are not doing the pasta bake, you can serve the pasta immediately at this point.
• For the pasta bake, add pieces of fresh mozzarella evenly on top of fettuccine. Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil on high for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese melts and browns. Keep a close eye on the pasta because things can happen very quickly in the broiler.

SHRIMP ALFREDO PASTA RECIPE

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 FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

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.
