Recipes:
Creamy Shrimp Alfredo with Tomato Sauce
Ingredients:
12 oz fettuccine pasta
1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions:
Cook the pasta:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
Cook the shrimp:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the shrimp with paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Prepare the sauce:
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Stir in the tomato sauce, heavy cream, and Italian seasoning. Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Combine pasta and sauce:
Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat in the creamy tomato Alfredo sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water.
Top with shrimp:
Gently place the cooked shrimp on top of the pasta and toss lightly.
Serve and garnish:
Plate the pasta, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
This creamy shrimp Alfredo with a hint of tomato is a delicious twist on a classic favorite, combining the richness of Alfredo sauce with the tanginess of tomato for a perfect balance of flavors!
