Shrimp Alfredo Fettuccine Broccoli (Printable Version)

Succulent shrimp and crisp broccoli blend with creamy sauce over fettuccine for a comforting and quick dinner option.

# Ingredients:

→ Seafood

01 - 250 grams raw shrimp, peeled and deveined

→ Vegetables

02 - 150 grams broccoli florets
03 - 3 cloves garlic, minced

→ Dairy

04 - 30 grams unsalted European-style butter
05 - 240 milliliters heavy whipping cream, cold
06 - 60 grams freshly grated Parmesan cheese

→ Pantry

07 - 15 grams all-purpose unbleached flour
08 - 120 milliliters dry white wine (e.g., Sauvignon Blanc)
09 - 200 grams dried fettuccine pasta

# Steps:

01 - Boil fettuccine in a large pot of salted water until al dente, approximately 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Drain immediately and set aside to maintain texture.
02 - Place broccoli florets in a saucepan with a small amount of water and steam until tender yet crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain thoroughly to retain bright color and texture.
03 - Melt one tablespoon of butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook approximately 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from pan and cover loosely with foil.
04 - Reduce heat slightly and add minced garlic to the same skillet, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant. Sprinkle flour evenly over garlic and stir continuously for an additional minute to form a roux.
05 - Slowly pour in white wine while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth. Gradually add heavy cream, stirring constantly until combined and heated through.
06 - Remove skillet from heat and stir in grated Parmesan until fully melted, creating a glossy and velvety sauce. Avoid reheating to preserve sauce consistency.
07 - Return shrimp, broccoli, and cooked fettuccine to the skillet. Gently toss to coat all ingredients evenly with Alfredo sauce. Serve immediately for optimal creaminess. Garnish with additional Parmesan or chopped fresh parsley if desired.

# Notes:

01 - Pat shrimp dry before cooking to achieve the best sear.
02 - Use freshly grated Parmesan for a smoother, richer sauce.
03 - Avoid overcooking pasta and broccoli to maintain texture.
04 - Store leftovers in airtight containers and reheat gently in the oven to preserve sauce consistency; freezing is possible for up to two months.
