Cream and Butter Sauce (aka Alfredo Sauce) with garlic shrimp
Cream and Butter Sauce (aka Alfredo Sauce) with garlic shrimp 6 tbsp butter 1 cup whipping cream 1 cup parmesan cheese (fresh as you can find)(not that stuff in the cardboard round tube container.) pinch of nutmeg sprinkling of fresh parsley small bag of fresh or frozen tiger shrimps. garlic to taste. First off put on a large pot of water to boil over high heat. For cooking the pasta. In a little oil pan fry some tiger shrimp and thin garlic slices...till they turn red. Remove from pan and reserve. Wipe out the pan. When you put the pasta in the boiling pot of water...put in the pan the 6tbsp butter to melt and add the cream and allow the mixture to simmer for a few moments. while the pasta finishes cooking. Drain your pasta & blend it with sauce (in which you've just added the cooked shrimp garlic mixture) and toss with the cheese, nutmeg and optional parsley. Pasta it works best with: narrow or medium ribbon types, oval strings, small filled pillows and shells. You can reduce the cheese and increase the butter and cream to get a thinner sauce or use 1/2 and 1/2 for the same effect. -- -Alan |

Shrimp here are either sold loose (fresh or cooked) or frozen in two-pound bags. Eight ounces sounded about right as I read the recipe. Your recipe sounds really good. Dora |
