You know Brothers and Sisters my Beloved Husband used to make the Best Alfredo Sauce with Shrimps. Gosh I had avoided it since the last 7-8 years, but now we have been given that dish to bring for Thanksgiving. Uff, my maid does not know how to make it. What do I do, I feel like I am stuck here? I think my friends are trying hard for me to get back to accepting the fact that my husband is no more, what do they know? They have not lost their loved ones? and besides I am tired of telling them that my Beloved Husband is with me at all times becuz I feel his Presence, gosh they will not believe me and Uff how can I prove it to them becuz I can see my husband sometimes in my dreams and sometimes even in reality I see his flashes.

I guess a woman can never forget her first and her only love. And I will continue to love him until death do me part.

Please friends send me an easy recipe of how to cook the Alfredo sauce with Shrimps/prawns in them. I would be extremely grateful to whoever sends me the recipe and will never forget this kind gesture. Please I am sorry if I said anything wrong in here. Thanks for your understanding.

Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo

Given the “Dish Do-Over” requests I received, it seems many of you love creamy pasta dishes but want to know how to make healthier versions. Although you may think all that butter and cream are what make fettuccine Alfredo delicious, my version has half the calories and one-third of the fat, and tastes even better!

ALFREDO SAUCE

3 tbsp olive oil

1 medium onion, finely diced

4 garlic cloves, minced

3 tbsp rice or whole-wheat flour

1 bay leaf

2 sprigs fresh thyme

2 small yellow zucchini, shredded (about 2 cups lightly packed)

1 cup low-sodium chicken stock

1 cup 1% milk

1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Pinch freshly grated nutmeg

Pinch cayenne pepper

PASTA

Extra-virgin olive oil, for tossing

1 lb whole-wheat or brown rice fettuccine noodles

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (5 oz each), thinly sliced

2 cups broccoli florets

2 cups sliced cremini mushrooms

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

SERVES 8

HANDS-ON TIME: 30 MINUTES

TOTAL TIME: 30 MINUTES

Prepare sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, heat 2 tbsp oil. Add onion and half the garlic; cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until translucent. Stir in flour and continue to cook, stirring for about 1 minute, until flour is light brown. Stir in bay leaf, thyme, zucchini, stock and milk. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and discard bay leaf and thyme. Stir in Parmesan and yogurt. PurÃĐe in a blender or directly in saucepan with an immersion blender until smooth. Season with salt, pepper, nutmeg and cayenne. Cover and keep warm.

Prepare pasta: While sauce is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain, rinse and toss with oil. Spread on a baking sheet to cool. Set aside pasta pot for reheating pasta later.

Meanwhile, in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, season chicken with remaining 1 tbsp oil, remaining garlic, salt and pepper. Cook chicken for about 2 minutes, until golden. Stir in broccoli, mushrooms and bell pepper and cook for another 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are al dente. Stir in 1 cup sauce.

Return pasta to pot and stir in remaining sauce. Gently stir pasta and cook over medium-high heat until pasta is heated through. Transfer to a bowl for serving and top with chicken and vegetables.

PER SERVING

BEFORE: 910 CALORIES, 52 G TOTAL FAT

DISH DO-OVER: 406 CALORIES, 11.7 G TOTAL FAT

Tip: Salted cooking water is essential for infusing pastas and boiled vegetables with flavor. While it might sound straightforward, most home cooks under-salt the water and end up with a flavorless product. For maximum flavor, cooking water should taste as salty as the ocean. Use about 1 tbsp salt for every 4 quarts of water.

Thanks a lot TI, but we have to take for around 80 people or so. But it is a good idea that we get Lean Cuisine - Shrimp Alfredo and eat once in a while. But I do not think that there is a recipe written on that box. I am grateful to you for giving me this idea.  Hmmm looks so yummy.

I would imagine this is a pot luck event and everybody brings something? Surely you cannot be asked to bring food for 80 people. Unreasonable I think.

I think we will follow Bhai Stormborn's recipe.  His recipe looks good and easy to follow. Thanks Bhai Stormborn.  Bhai Marty right after we read your post we called the people who had arranged the party and told them that it is practically difficult to bring this dish for that many people so they assigned this dish to one more family. Gosh I did not have the courage to ask, but now it seems fair. Bhai TI please how can one person eat one shrimp?? Though there are many dishes but will plan on taking enough, gosh now you have me worried? I guess 3-4 shrimps per person should be enough is what Dad is saying. Thanks. Greatly appreciate everyone's input.

Sweet Chami, no need to recopy again and again.  I guess you sound bored?

I had joked with him becuz he had posted a picture of a Big Shrimp, with a note saying," beware Killer Shrimp is coming to your neighborhood---- they come out at night", therefore I joked back. So why are you getting involved here again? Dear Sis Chami if you are getting bored please listen to the songs that everyone sent you. Hope you are doing well and may God always keep you well. Amen.
