Well, it has been a busy weekend. I sponsored a Writer's Conference on Saturday and was busy all day. We were famished when we got home and the only thing I had thawed out was some shrimp. So, I threw together some Shrimp Fettuccini Alfredo. Most people buy canned Alfredo sauce, but I just don't like it. I make it from scratch, so here it is.
Shrimp Fettuccini Alfredo
1/4 small box of Fettuccini noodles
3 Tbsp. Real Butter
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. minced garlic
1 Tbsp. salt
1 Tbsp. ground pepper
3/4 can of Evaporated milk
1/4 cup water mixed with 1 heaping Tbsp. cornstarch (do not stir together until just before you need it)
Boil Fettuccini noodles in salted water until noodles are tender, but not over-done. Drain.
In a skillet, melt butter. Add lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Sauté 2 or 3 minutes and then pour in the Evaporated milk. Stir constantly. Once it comes to a boil, add cornstarch mixture and stir until thickens slightly. Toss in the boiled and drained noodles.
* NOTE: If you are allergic to seafood / shrimp, you can substitute chicken and it is just as fabulous.
I'd even eat these noodles with just the sauce. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI agree, Kay and I have before. It is yummy and you can use chicken or pork also.
