Shrimp Alfredo

---

• 3 Servings of Fettuccini (See Recipe Here for Homemade!)
• 6 Cups Water
• 2 cups Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese
• 1 1/2 Cup Deveined and Peeled Shrimp
• 1/2 Cup Butter
• 1 1/2 Tsp Salt
• 1 Tsp Freshly Chopped Dill
• 1 Tsp Cracked Black Pepper
• 1 1/2 Cup Hot Pasta Water
• 1 Tbs Lemon Zest
• 2 Tbs Lemon Juice
• 1 Tbs Fresh Chopped Parsley
• 1 Tsp Olive Oil

Pasta:

• In a large pot, combine Water, Olive Oil, and 1/2 Salt and bring to a boil
• For fresh pasta, you only need to cook for roughly 6 minutes or until pasta is tender
• For boxed pasta, follow the cook times provided on the package
• Put aside 1 1/5 cup of the Hot Pasta Water
• Drain the remaining water from the pasta

Sauce:

• In a medium sauce pan, melt a little over 1/2 of the Butter
• Add in the Hot Pasta Water and Freshley Grated Parmesan Cheese and stir
• Add in the remaining Salt and continue to stir
• Let cook until sauce thickens and becomes creamy, ensure all the cheese has properly melted and incorporated into the sauce. 

Shrimp:

• In a frying pan, on medium heat, add the remaining Butter and let melt
• Place in the Shrimp, adding the Lemon Zest, Lemon Juice, and Dill
• Cook Shirmp evenly on both sides for roughly 3 - 4 minutes, or until shrimp is pink in color. Overcooking the shrimp will cause them to shrink and curl undesirably.

• In the large boiling pot, combine the cooked Shrimp and Alfredo Sauce in with the Pasta until all the ingredients are well mixed
• On a plate, add one serving of the combined ingredients
• Add a dash of Cracked Black Pepper over top
• Lastly, sprinkle the Fresh Chopped Parsley over top and serve!
