Why buy Alfredo sauce ready made? It's simple to make and tastes better when home made! This is an absolutely easy and fast recipe to prepare that has wonderful flavors. Perfect for a special occasion. At least one of my children ask for this each year on their birthday!
For the Shrimp:
- 1 egg
- 1 cup beer
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 24 extra large shrimp peeled and deveined
- 2 cups crushed cornflake crumbs
- 1 teaspoon old bay seasoning
- oil for frying
In a medium bowl, beat together egg, beer, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place shrimp in the bowl, and thoroughly coat with the mixture.
In a separate medium bowl, mix the cornflake crumbs and old bay seasoning. Dip each shrimp in the crumb mixture, and thoroughly coat all sides.
heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet. Fry the shrimp until golden brown, and flesh is pink. Drain on paper towel.
For the Alfredo Sauce:
- 1 cup butter
- 1 clove minced garlic
- 3/4 pint heavy cream
- 1 dash garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3/4 cup grated Romano cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh whole basil leaves
- 1 pound of fettucine noodles or your favorite shaped pasta
In a large, heavy pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic; cook, stirring for 1 minute. While stirring constantly, gradually add cream; bring to a simmer. Keep stirring frequently as sauce thickens, about 1 minute more. Add the garlic powder, salt and pepper. Gradually stir in the cheeses until creamy and smooth.
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta aldente (do not overcook). Drain pasta and place into alfredo sauce and gently toss to combine. Transfer to 4 individual plates and top with 6 fried shrimp each and finish off with a few leaves of fresh basil.
Bon Appétit!
