Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredowith asparagus / peas
Fettuccine Alfredo is a meal that many of our members have requested, so we're excited to feature this version. Lighter than what you'll find in most restaurants, we still use a bit of heavy cream to add that authentic creaminess and flavor. Asparagus and peas give the dish some color and crunch.

Prep
Make
- Bring a saucepan of water to boil. Salt generously and add pasta. Cook according to package directions. In the last 3 minutes of cooking add asparagus. Continue cooking until both pasta and asparagus are al dente, tender but not soggy. Drain.
- While pasta is cooking, heat a saute pan over medium heat. Add oil and then shrimp to heated oil. Season shrimp with some salt and pepper as it cooks. Cook shrimp for 2 minutes and then add garlic. Continue cooking until shrimp is opaque / cooked through, ~2 minutes more. Set shrimp aside and return pan to heat.
- Add butter to heated pan. Once butter melts, add shallots and coleslaw mix with a pinch of salt and saute until tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour evenly over vegetables and stir to coat, about 30 seconds. While stirring, slowly add stock and then heavy cream. Continue stirring and bring to a low simmer (reduce heat if needed to prevent sauce from reaching a hard boil). Simmer until sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute. Taste and season with additional salt, if needed.
- When pasta / asparagus are finished cooking, drain.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss together pasta / asparagus, peas and sauce. Zest lemon over top. Season with some salt.
- Serve pasta with shrimp on top. Finish with fresh cracked black pepper. Enjoy!

The fett turned out great! Be very aware of the prawns, I overcooked mine. They really don't take long to cook. Other than that, it was a great dish!
0 HelpfulThis was so good! Although I did make some alterations. I sprinkled the shrimp with Cajun seasoning before cooking and I think it added just the right amount of flavor. I used a generous amount a slaw mix of Brussels Sprouts, Napa Cabbage, Kohlrabi, Broccoli, Carrot, and Kale and left out the peas and asparagus. I also added some Parmigiano-Reggiano to the sauce and sprinkled some on top for serving. This was restaurant quality.
