Recipe For Seafood Alfredo
This recipe for seafood alfredo takes the creamy alfredo sauce and adds some seafood - prawn
(shrimp)and scallops.
Seafood Alfredo
3 oz (100g) butter
1 small clove garlic, peeled and crushed
1/4 pint(150 ml) double (heavy) cream
3 oz (80g)freshly grated parmesan cheese
6 oz (150g) peeled cooked prawns (shrimp)
8 scallops - cleaned and sliced in half
1lb (450g) fettucine
Melt half the butter in a frying pan and lightly cook the garlic, until softened. Add the scallops and
cook until firm - then add the prawns and heat through.
Remove and keep warm whilst you make the rest of the alfredo sauce.
Melt the rest of the butter over a low heat. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cream and
cheese.
Return to a low heat and do not allow the mixture to boil - it will separate - stir until it's thickened and
then add the scallops and prawns to the cream mixture.
Reheat very gently and pour over freshly boiled fettucine.
You could use other pasta in this with the seafood alfredo, spaghetti, taglietelle or whatever your
choice.
Add the tomatoes and let the sauce simmer gently for about 5 minutes.
Add the white wine and cook a further five minutes.
At this point, you can start to drink the wine if you like :-)
Add the prawns and cook gently for about 5 minutes - taste and add salt and pepper if required.
Cook the fettucini according to the packet instructions.
Drain and put on plates, adding the sauce on top.
Serve with freshly grated parmesan and a twist of black pepper.
For the 12 oz of prawns, you could substitute either one of or a mixture of crab meat, tuna fish, smoked
haddock, fresh salmon, seafood cocktail (cockles, whelks, mussels)
You could make this seafood fettucini recipe your very own - something different every time.
normally cook Creamy Carbonara but here is a recipe for those that cant stand creamy pasta sauce.
Here is the traditional Spaghetti Carbonara recipe which tastes just as heavenly as creamy carbonara.
Spaghetti
500 grams spaghetti
6 quarts salted boiling water
1 tablespoons vegetable oil
1. Add spaghetti noodles to salted boiling water, bring water back to a boil.
2. Cook spaghetti until Al Dent (barely tender) about 6-8 minutes (Tasting is the only way to test
doneness. Never overcook pasta)
3. Add oil during the last 2 minutes. To keep spaghetti from sticking together wen it is drained.
4. Drain but leave hot, ready to use.
Sauce
6-8 slices lean bacon, cut into large pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
2- 3 small pieces garlic, minced (I prefer more garlic)
4 egg whites
2-3 tablespoons Coarsely grated Parmesan cheese
Freshly grated black pepper to taste.
1. Cook bacon in olive oil crisp in moderate heat. If bacon is excessively fatty, pour off some of the
bacon fat.
2.Add garlic during the last minute of cooking.
3. Working quickly, blend hot bacon-garlic sauce into hot spaghetti noodles in heated serving bowl.
4. Work in eggs quickly with grated cheese, tossing spaghetti.
5. Add pepper to taste.
6. Eggs will harden from the heat of the fat and spaghetti.
7. Serve at once. Delicious with Tossed green Salad and your favorite wine.
