Here's the recipe..
I cooked the shrimps separate from the pasta as Yasmine doesnt like the alfredo sauce much and Jules doesnt like shrimps. I'll cook the shrimps, move them to a separate bowl, and using the same pan (without cleaning it), I made the sauce (so at least can taste the garlic and shrimps).
You could always cook the shrimp separately and towards the end, toss them all together.
Spicy Garlic Shrimps
2 tablespoons evoo (extra virgin olive oil) or twice around the pan
1lb shrimps
5 cloves garlic * you can use more or less. Sometimes, I even use about 12 cloves. Depends on how garlicky you want it*
salt
pepper
chilli flakes *if you dont like spicy, omit
Heat the oil in medium heat.
Sautee the garlic for about 2 mins or so.
Add the shrimps.
Season it with salt, pepper and chilli flakes.
Once it turns pink, remove.
Fettucine Alfredo
12oz or 1 package Fettucine pasta *you can use others too like linquine etc
2 tablespoons butter
1 to 1 1/4 cups half-and-half or heavy cream
1 cup (3 healthy handfuls) grated Parmigiano-Reggiano *or parmesan cheese
2 pinches ground nutmeg or about 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg *this you can omit, if you cannot find it or dont have it..it'll still taste pretty good without
Coarse ground black pepper
A pinch coarse salt
Bring salted water to a rolling boil for the pasta and cook to package directions for al dente pasta.
Preheat a large skillet over moderate heat. Drain the pasta. Add the butter to the pan and melt. Add half-and-half to the melted butter. Stirring constantly, add cheese and cook sauce 1 minute. Season with nutmeg, pepper, and a pinch of salt. Turn off heat under sauce and add pasta to the skillet. Toss pasta until sauce coats the noodles evenly.
