Shrimp fettuccine alfredo is one of the best tasting and low effort dishes.
|
|
The recipe i give below yields an alfredo sauce that is a bit on the thicker side.
|
|
If you want a thinner sauce, adding a touch or two more milk will thin out the sauce.
|
|
This is a great meal for 3-4 people or you can eat one serving and freeze the rest for 2-3 more dinners.
|
|
