Seafood Fettucine Alfredo



Ingredients:

1 lb Fettuccine pasta
1 TBS butter
1 lb cooked shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tail-less (if frozen thaw and drain)
8 oz crab meat
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup fat-free half-and-half
6 TBS grated Parmesan cheese
1 TBS chopped fresh parsley
salt to taste

Directions:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8-10 minutes or until al dente; drain.

In a large skillet, saute shrimp, crab and garlic in butter for about 2-3 minutes. Remove shrimp from skillet. Pour in half-and-half, sprinkle Parmesan cheese in one tablespoon at a time, stirring constantly. After all Parmesan is added, mix in parsley and salt. Stir frequently making sure it does not boil. The sauce will take a while to thicken.

When sauce has thickened, add shrimp/crab/garlic back into skillet. You can choose to combine with pasta noodles of serve separate; serve hot.


Note:
If sauce is taking too long you can add about 1 TBS of cornstarch to "rush" the process.

Other light flavored fish can be added, such as halibut and talapia.
