Creamy Pesto Alfredo With Shrimp and Linguini instructions

  1. Boil large pot of lightly salted water. Add pasta and cook 8-10 minutes or to preferred texture..
  2. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in cream and season with pepper. Cook 6-8 minutes, stirring constantly..
  3. Stir in Parmesan cheese into cream sauce (if you grate the cheese yourself, a half cup is plenty, if you use pre-grated cheese you may want to use a cup. It can be added later). Stir until thoroughly mixed. Blend in pesto and cook 3-5 minutes, until thickened. If it needs thickening add the cornstarch and some more cheese. The sauce will thicken some when added to pasta so aim for a thickened liquid (like agave syrup)..
  4. Stir in shrimp and cook until pink, about 5 minutes. Serve over hot linguine.

Cook linguine according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute shrimp in butter until shrimp turn pink. Fettuccine alfredo is one of life's greatest comfort foods. It's creamy, cheesy, carb-y, and super super flavorful. We especially love this version because the shrimp adds lots of extra flavor and some lean protein to boot!
