For an even richer flavor, use freshly grated cheeses. Adjust the amount of garlic to your preference. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end can brighten the dish. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives for added color and flavor.
Indulge in this creamy, decadent pasta dish featuring succulent shrimp and earthy mushrooms, all embraced by a luscious Alfredo sauce. A truly satisfying and flavorful experience.
Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring lightly salted water to a rolling boil over medium heat. Add fettuccine, return to a boil, and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water. Keep pasta warm.
Prepare the Alfredo Sauce: While the pasta cooks, melt 1 cup of butter with the heavy cream in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, stir in the Romano cheese, Parmesan cheese, and 1/3 of the crushed garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Sauté the Shrimp and Mushrooms: In a separate large saucepan, melt the remaining 1/4 cup of butter with the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the diced mushrooms and the remaining crushed garlic. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook until the mushrooms are tender and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the thawed shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes.
Combine and Serve: Gently fold the shrimp and mushroom mixture into the Alfredo sauce. Add the drained fettuccine to the sauce, tossing to coat evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency. Serve immediately.
For an even richer flavor, use freshly grated cheeses. Adjust the amount of garlic to your preference. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end can brighten the dish. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives for added color and flavor.
