SHRIMP ALFREDO

Ingredients
 
    •    ½ cup salted butter
    •    3 ounces cream cheese
    •    ½ teaspoon minced garlic (I used 1 tsp Granulated Garlic)
    •    2 cups (1 pint) heavy whipping cream , or half-and-half
    • ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
    •    Kosher salt , to taste (I used Pink Himalayan Salt)
    •    Freshly ground black pepper , to taste
    •    ¼ -3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese , more to taste
    •    1 pound fettuccine , cooked according to package
Optional: Grilled chicken,Grilled Shrimp – I fried them up with some GARLIC CRUSH.

And I added some sautéed mushrooms, and onions with A Spice Affair GPS, then added in some Cherry tomatoes

Instructions
    •    In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup butter and 3 ounces cream cheese over low heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon garlic and cook 1 minute. Whisk in 2 cups heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning, if using.

    •    Increase the heat to medium-low and bring to a simmer. Simmer 5 minutes, whisking occasionally. Stir in 1/4 cup parmesan cheese and simmer until melt. Add up to 1/2 cup more parmesan, if desired. The more cheese you add, the thicker the sauce will be.

    •    Toss with pasta and serve. If using chicken or broccoli, stir into the sauce. Toss with cooked fettuccine until coated. Serve while hot. Sprinkle with fresh parmesan cheese and parsley on top, if desired.

I plated up the pasta, making a hole in the centre, added in the sautéed veggies, then the shrimp, and then poured the sauce over top and then sprinkled with some Parsallot
