Shrimp Alfredo

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day and staying warm! All this yucky rainy weather we've been having is turning into snow tonight. I would be more excited about this if it was going to be good snow but with all the rain it's just going to be yucky. Thankfully it isn't supposed to do much just between 1-3 inches. We'll see! So after class last night I had to go to the store to pick up a few things I needed for the house and remembered I had a new recipe book specifically geared towards pasta so I picked up some heavy whipping cream and figured I would find something to make today. Lunch time rolled around and I went through the book and found the recipe for "Alfredo" figured why not make that add shrimp to it and call it a day! It turned out great! The ingredients called for parsley which I did not have, and also Parmesan cheese instead I used a little mild cheddar cheese in it's place. I sauteed the shrimp first in butter and meyer lemon juice with salt and pepper it turned out really good! Next time I make it I'm going to try a veggie Alfredo and add fresh carrots, peas, and broccoli. When I mix it up of course I will add that recipe as well! I hope you can all enjoy this!
<3 to all my fellow foodies!

It was as good as it looks there was a lot of liquid but I did not use as much pasta as the recipe asked for. Once you finish and mix it all together in a bowl use a pasta server to plate it will let the extra sauce drip off.
Gather ingredients:
Active making time: about 10 minutes Total time:25 minutes
makes 6 main dishes
1 package (16 oz) fettuccine (I used angel hair)
1 1/2c heavy or whipping cream
1 tblsp butter or margarine
1/2 teasp salt
1/4 teasp coarsely ground black pepper
3/4c grated parmesan cheese
chopped parsley

1) In a large saucepot, cook pasta according to directions. Drain
2) Meanwhile in a 2 qt saucepan heat cream, butter, salt, and pepper to boiling over medium-high heat. Boil until sauce has thickened slightly about 2-3 minutes. In a serving dish toss pasta with sauce and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle with parsley.
((This is the recipe in the book I added a dash of garlic salt to the sauce too.)) I added shrimp to mine you could always use chicken!
In a skillet melt 1 tblsp of butter and add shrimp (Honestly I didnt measure how much I put in it I just added enough for me and the kids), cook over medium heat. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Cut a meyer lemon in half use half of the lemon and juice it over the shrimp slice the other half and add the slices to the shrimp. Cook through and add to pasta! Enjoy!!
