It takes me a while to type up recipes because I usually go from memory and on a first time combine methods from 3 or 4 recipes and do so to taste but here goes; this shrimp & clam alfredo was devine!
Ingredients:
1lb fresh deveined and scaled shrimp
2 cans minced clams
16 ounces dry fettuccine pasta
16 ounces light cream
6 ounces sliced baby shitake mushrooms
1 1/2 cups grated parmesan
2 tbsp flour
2 tablespoons brandy
~4 tbsp butter
salt and pepper to taste
(SPICES)
2 teaspoons paprika
1 tablespoon minced shallots
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1/2 cup finely diced fresh cilantro
fresh ground black pepper & oregano to taste
boil noodles until al dente in the meantime:
(stirring constantly)
add butter, mushrooms, shrimp and spices to large sauce pan
saute shrimp until pink (~3 minutes)
remove shrimp with a slotted spoon leaving cooking liquid behind
add parmesan, flour and cream (do not boil or the sauce will seperate!)
stir until blended and fairly smooth
add clams and brandy
stir until evenly heated
at this point I removed half of the sauce, and mixed the noodles and remaining half of the sauce to evenly coat. put servings on plates than added additional sauce as needed. Serves 6. If the sauce is coming up thin add more parmesan and flour
Enjoy!
