Shrimp Alfredo Pasta

Ingredients

• 1 lb Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 1 tsp Beef bouillon (for seasoning shrimp)
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Dried basil (basil herbs)
• 1 tsp Italian herbs
• Paprika powder (2-3 pinches)
• 2 tsp Avocado oil (for marinating shrimp)
• 12 oz Pasta (fettuccine or similar)
• 1 tbsp Avocado oil (for cooking)
• 1 tbsp Garlic paste
• 2 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tsp Beef bouillon (for the sauce)
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 0.333 cup Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup Mozzarella cheese

Steps

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp with 1 teaspoon beef bouillon, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon basil herbs, 1 teaspoon Italian herbs, 2-3 pinches of paprika powder, and 2 teaspoons of avocado oil. Toss well to ensure the shrimp are evenly coated.

2. 2

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

3. 3

   Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

4. 4

   In the same skillet, add the garlic paste and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

5. 5

   Pour in 2 cups of heavy cream. Stir in 2 teaspoons of beef bouillon and 1 teaspoon of onion powder.

6. 6

   Bring the cream mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir in 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese. Continue to stir until the cheeses are melted and the sauce has thickened slightly.

7. 7

   Add the cooked pasta and the cooked shrimp back into the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is thoroughly coated in the sauce.

8. 8

   Serve immediately, garnished with extra herbs if desired.

Notes

The author uses beef bouillon for seasoning both the shrimp and the sauce, which provides a deep savory flavor. Ensure you do not overcook the shrimp in the first step as they will be reheated in the sauce later.
