Shrimp Scampi Alfredo

---

What you need:
2 Pkgs. Linguine noodles (Spaghetti noodles will work if you do not have Linguine noodles.)
1-2 pounds jumbo shrimp (shelled, deveined, tail off)
24-32 oz Alfredo sauce
2 Tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup butter
3-4 cloves minced garlic
3 shallots (finely diced)
1/2 cup white wine (cooking wine is fine, or use a dry Chardonnay)
1/4 cup lemon juice (or extract the juice from 3-4 large lemons or 6 small ones.)
1/4 tsp. chopped basil
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
a dash of red chili flakes (chili powder may be substituted)
Salt & pepper to taste
1 large skillet
1 stock pot
1 medium pot

Directions

---

1. Boil water in large stock pot and then add Linguine noodles. While noodles are cooking, pour in olive oil and add butter in large skillet. Once butter is melted and combined with the olive oil, add shallots and cook until translucent. Stir occasionally.
2. Add garlic and lemon juice and continue to cook until garlic is well done.
3. Add shrimp and stir until well coated with the butter and oil combination, then add basil, chili flakes (or powder, whichever you choose), salt, and pepper. Stir until shrimp is coated and well blended with butter/oil and spices.
4. Empty jars of Alfredo sauce into medium sized pot, cover with a lid, and cook on low heat. You should now have 3 of your 4 stove burners cooking at once.
5. When shrimp is bright pink and no longer translucent, immediately remove from heat and sprinkle on Parmesan cheese. The residual heat will help melt the cheese slightly. Once the cheese has melted a little and appears to have absorbed some of the white wine butter sauce, then separate shrimp from the white wine butter sauce. Set shrimp aside. Make sure you remove your shrimp from the heat the instant you no longer see translucence. Overcooking your shrimp will cause them to shrink in size and become rubbery.
6. Pour remaining white wine butter sauce from the large skillet into the pot with the Alfredo sauce and stir until well combined, then stir occasionally during the cooking process.
7. When noodles are done, the sauce should be done as well. Remove both from heat.
8. Plate this dish accordingly: First, lay down a bed of noodles, then pour Alfredo sauce over the noodles until covered completely. Top with the shrimp scampi. By keeping all ingredients separated, the shrimp will really stand out among the rest of the ingredients, making for a better presentation.
9. If you have any remaining lemon juice, squeeze enough over the top of the shrimp to taste for an extra zing in the flavor0.
10. You may add chopped parsley for color or a few sprigs on the plate as a garnish. If you do not have any parsley, sprinkle lightly over the top with more basil.
11. Serve and enjoy Shrimp Scampi Alfredo! Be careful, this may send your taste buds into a giggling fit for how well it tickles the throat as you eat.
