Shrimp Alfredo

Ingredients:
Shrimp:
1-2 lbs of shrimp peeled and deveined
Butter, Garlic, Salt, and Pepper

Alfredo:
1 quart Heavy whipping cream or half and half
1/2 stick of butter
1 egg yolk
1 wedge of FRESH grated Parmesan
Salt, pepper, and garlic to taste

In a saucepan add butter and melt then add 1/2 of the cream to the butter and bring to a simmer. In a bowl add the rest of the cream and egg yolk and beat set aside until ready to use. When the cream and butter start to simmer add cream and egg mixture and bring back to a low simmer. Right before serving gradually add Parmesan cheese and seasoning. When finished you can toss noodles in the Alfredo or you can pour Alfredo on top of noodles.

 

To cook the shrimp I heated butter in a large iron skillet. Before putting shrimp in I seasoned them with salt and pepper. Add a little garlic to the pan when the butter had melted. Add shrimp all at one time and let sit for two minutes on medium high heat. Turn shrimp after 2 mintues and continue to cook for another minute or two until fully cooked. Add to Alfredo and enjoy!!
