Hey everyone, its Natasha of Natashaskitchen.com and today we're making a
major comfort food!
It's creamy shrimp Alfredo. The sauce is
so flavorful and tastes like fine dining
but it's one of the easiest dinners
you'll make. Let's get right into it
start by cooking three-quarters of a
pound of fettuccine noodles in salted
water according to the package
instructions. Once the noodles are al
dente, drain but do not rinse. While the
pasta is cooking, start on your shrimp.
Pat dry a pound of shrimp with paper
towels then season with half a tsp
of salt 1/4 tsp of paprika and a
quarter tsp of black pepper, then
give it a quick stir. Place a large pan
over medium-high heat and add a
Tbsp of oil. Once the oil is hot,
add the shrimp in a single layer and
cook about 2 minutes per side or just
until cooked through.
Make sure to remove your shrimp from the
pan so they don't overcook. Finally chop
half of a medium onion and in the same
hot skillet, add two Tbsp of
butter along with the chopped onion and
saute for about five minutes or until
soft and golden. Mince one garlic clove
and add it to the pan, stirring for about
a minute or until fragrant. Now the fun
part! Add 1/3 cup of white wine and I'm
using a Chardonnay, it's not a lot of wine
but it adds so much amazing flavor. Cook
that down until the liquid has mostly
evaporated then add two cups of cream,
bring the cream to a simmer and cook
another two minutes. Next, sprinkle the
top with 1/3 cup of Parmesan cheese, stir
until the cheese melts and the Alfredo
sauce is smooth and it comes just to a
light simmer. Do not boil, then turn off
the heat and season with salt and pepper
to taste.
Add the cooked pasta and shrimp and stir
until the noodles are well coated in
that creamy Alfredo sauce.
Oh, you guys, my kitchen smells so good
right now and it's time for the taste

parsley because it adds some beautiful
color and fresh flavor to this pasta. YUM!
