Shrimp Alfredo with Broccoli – Creamy and Delicious

One of my favorite restaurant dishes is Shrimp Alfredo with broccoli.  I love the richness of the dish.

My daughter always orders it when we eat out together too.   It is one of my favorite shrimp recipes to make at home.

Shrimp Alfredo with Broccoli – Decadent Main Course

This is my latest attempt. You can’t imagine how pleased I was when I came up with this delicious version. Not only do I love the creamy dish, but my daughter says that she prefers it to the one we get when we dine out.

The recipe combines fettuccine noodles, with Gulf Shrimp in a creamy sauce made from milk and cream cheese.

I had to de-vein these shrimp before I made the recipe. For tips on how to de-vein shrimp, please visit this page.

For a light version of this dish, check out my shrimp pasta with broccoli. It has no cream but is surprisingly rich and comforting.
